A Learning Content topic provides the learning content itself, and enables direct use of content from DITA task, concept, and reference topics, as well as additional content of any topic type that supports specific objectives declared in the Learning Overview topic type.

A learning content topic comprises a set of self-contained content about a single terminal learning objective supported by zero or more enabling learning objectives.

A learning content topic is rendered as single result component (for example, a single HTML page) when it has subordinate topics. The subordinate topics either can be direct child elements or associated through a map. This rendering result can be requested by specifying a value of "to-content" for the chunk attribute of topicref elements that reference learningContent topics. This is the default value for the learningContentRef element that is provided by the learning map domain.

Content models

See appendix for information about this element in OASIS document type shells.

Inheritance

- topic/topic learningBase/learningBase learningContent/learningContent

Example

<learningContent id="learningcontent">
<title>Your Mail Inbox</title>
  <learningContentbody>
    <lcObjectives>
      <lcObjectivesStem>When you complete this topic, you'll understand:</lcObjectivesStem>
        <lcObjectivesGroup>
            <lcObjective>How to use the mail inbox.</lcObjective>
        </lcObjectivesGroup>
    </lcObjectives>
  </learningContentbody>
  <concept id="mail_inbox_concept" xml:lang="en-us">
    <title>Your Mail Inbox</title>
    <shortdesc>Use your mail inbox to track and manage incoming messages.</shortdesc>
    <conbody>
        <p>Knowing which messages you have not yet read and which ones are urgent
        can help you decide how to best review a long list of messages. Unread messages
        are indicated by bold text and a variety of icons identifies a characteristic
        of the message, such as a high priority message or an invitation.</p>
    </conbody>

Attributes

The following attributes are available on this element: Universal attribute group (with a narrowed definition of id, given below), Architectural attribute group, and outputclass.

id (REQUIRED)
An anchor point. This ID is usually required as part of the href or conref syntax when cross referencing or reusing content within the topic; it also enables topicref elements in DITA maps to optionally reference a specific topic within a DITA document. This attribute is defined with the XML Data Type ID.
