Tip Box

You may want to replace The blueprint uses a Content Marker Macro in combination with the Transclude Documents Macro instead of a Section Macro with and the Transclusion Macro to select from one strategy only.

Typically there is only one strategy, but the Transclusion Macro cannot reference that document in advance of its existence. The Transclude Documents Macro can, but does so assuming that there is more than one strategy document. So if you actually use Since more than one strategies may be encountered the name of the document is used as the title of the section.

Therefore we recommend to use Strategy for the name of the strategy document. You may need to make the title of that document unique (for instance by "Strategy for XYZ") if you are documenting more than one IT function.

If you happen to use more than one strategy document, then you should consider to replace the Content Marker Macro with a Section Macro and set the title of that macro to Strategy or Strategies to define your strategy then you are fine with the configuration provided in this doctype. If you have your strategy not documented in its own document, then this section will not show and you are also fine. If you have only one strategy this configuration will render the name of the strategy which is typically not very helpful. In this case you may replace the section with a Content Marker Macro or replace the Transclude Documents Macro with the Transclusion Macro.

Also note that the doctype is available as source on Bitbucket in case you want to define your approach in your own version of this doctype.
