The PDAC1 provides tools to create a modular documentation, supporting Single Sourcing. These tools include doctypes and macros for transclusion.

This short tip provides a brief introduction.

projectdoc documents are defined by properties and sections. A section is typically defined by the Section Macro. Such sections can be referenced, but require the fragment identifier to do so. In order to modularize a document, sections can be added by the use of the Section Doctype and transcluded by a transclusion macro – either one-by-one using the Transclusion Macro or the Transclude Documents Macro. The section documents are typically stored as child documents to the transcluding document. Therefore the Transclude Documents Macro allows to create a document divided into section documents easily. In addition to that these section documents ca be referenced more easily.
