Description

Within a QandAEntry, a Question may have an Answer. An Answer is optional (some questions have no answers) and may be repeated (some questions have more than one answer).

Processing expectations

Answers are frequently introduced with a label, such as "A:". Several attributes control the generation of the label text.

If the DefaultLabel attribute on the nearest ancestor QandASet is not Label, then the Label element on Answer is ignored. Otherwise, the content of the Label element is used as the label for the Answer.

Parents

These elements contain Answer: QandAEntry.

Examples

For examples, see QandASet.
