projectdoc Toolbox

Information regarding document types, but not document types themselves.

A document type, or doctype for short, defines the properties and sections of each document instance of this type. Doctypes are implemented by Confluence Blueprints.

Document Types and Templates
Document types (or doctypes for short) define a set of properties and sections. Each doctype matches at least one Confluence Page Blueprint. Confluence Page Blueprints are a collection of templates, but often the collection contains only one element.

Doctypes
Doctypes define properties and sections for documents. They are essentially Confluence Blueprints that help to create pages in your wiki based on templates.

Overwhelmed with Blueprints?
Templates are a great tool to make creating and maintaining documents very easy. Blueprints support authors to create documents based on templates. But a large number of blueprints may make it difficult for authors to select the appropriate template. Here are a few tips on dealing with larger amounts of blueprints.
Tour for Template Authors
This is a tour through the documentation for users that want to design their own set of templates or just want to create one or two templates.
Micro Structure
A template assists authors in writing documents of a given type. Templates help that documents are similar in structure and therefore are also easier to read by members of the project team. projectdoc only renders table rows and sections, if they actually contain information. This reduces clutter to distract readers.
