There is often no time to write effective summaries on a project. In this case leave this empty and go with a short description and the most helpful excerpts.

This section contains the excerpts that express the topics of the resource in more depth. For a book there might be one excerpt per chapter, if this information is relevant for the project.

If you can keep it short, replace the list with information added as subsections.

A collection of quotes taken from the resource that are relevant for the project to be referenced from elsewhere in your documentation.

While most quotes may be located directly in any doctype, using the Quote Macro, the important once may be added as child pages to the resource document. Note that these quotes will show up on the index page of the Quote Doctype.

For some resources there is a natural partitioning of a document. There might be a business rule that is split in several subordinate document. You may want to track different versions of a resource where the latest is referenced by the main resource document.

If you do not need to make this relationship visible, skip this section.
