Step 2-4. Declare FAQ Question Topic Type Elements and Attributes

Per our markup design from step 1, we will need to declare the following specialized element types:

• <faq-question> as a specialization of <concept>
• <faq-question-statement> as a specialization of <title>
• <faq-answer> as a specialization of <conbody>

To create these new element types, edit the faq-question.mod file and modify it as follows:

1. Find the declaration for the <concept> element type. Change "concept" to "faq-question" in the element and attribute list declarations.
2. Within the content model for what is now <faq-question>, change "%title;" to "%faq-question-statement;" and "%conbody;" to "%faq-answer;".
3. Find the declaration for the <conbody> element type. Change "conbody" to "faq-answer" in the element and attribute list declarations.
4. From the base DITA distribution, open commenElements.mod and find the declaration for the <title> element. Copy this declaration and paste it into faq-question.mod. Change "title" to "faq-question-statement" in the element and attribute list declarations.

The element type declarations should look like this:

<!ENTITY % faq-question.content

  ((%faq-question-statement;),
