Topic Object

A Topic object represents a concise chunk of text, usually no more than a few paragraphs. In a traditional document this would be the text under a specific heading or sub-heading in the document hierarchy.

Topic objects will make up the vast majority of all objects in a Book, and as such contain many properties defining how the Topic will be represented in both the printed and on-line documentation. Topics can mark the beginning of a new chapter and automatically create a mini table of contents. The heading of the Topic can be automatically formatted depending on its level in the hierarchy of the Book.
