Part 4 - Creating an Issues and Solutions article template

We will build the Issues and Solutions article using the same macros we used to build a How-to article, namely the list-datalist-optiontext-data macros.

Create the dropdown menu for systems like this:

Next, you can use the Reporting add-on to report on the title of the page, which in this case is the title of the issue (Optional).

Finally, some text-area blocks for symptomsdiagnosis and solution fields:

Finally, learn how you can a create a new article with this template in this tutorial.
