A.5 Reference Material

You create a reference-type chapter or appendix by using the following elements inside the RefEntry element within a chapter or appendix template file.

RefSect1
RefSect2
RefSect3
RefSect4
RefSubSect

Note:

You do not need the template file ref_chap.fm to create a reference-type chapter or appendix. All elements and formats you need to create reference-type documentation are in the chapter.fm or the appendix.fm template.

You can include Sectn elements at the beginning of a chapter or appendix that contains reference information. However, once you insert a RefEntry, you can no longer insert Sectn elements. Therefore, place all narrative or tutorial-type text at the beginning of a chapter or appendix, before reference information.
