The book module is suited for creating structured, multi-page hypertexts such as site resource guides, manuals, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). It permits a document to have chapters, sections, subsections, etc. Authors with suitable permissions can add pages to a collaborative book, placing them into the existing document by adding them to a table of contents menu.
Pages in the book hierarchy have navigation elements at the bottom of the page for moving through the text. These links lead to the previous and next pages in the book, and to the level above the current page in the book's structure. More comprehensive navigation may be provided by enabling the book navigation block on the blocks administration page.
Users can select the printer-friendly version link visible at the bottom of a book page to generate a printer-friendly display of the page and all of its subsections.
Users with the administer book outlines permission can add a post of any content type to a book, by selecting the appropriate book while editing the post or by using the interface available on the post's outline tab.
Administrators can view a list of all books on the book administration page. The Outline page for each book allows section titles to be edited or rearranged.
