Description​

A Question in a QandAEntry poses a question or states a problem that is addressed by the following Answer(s). Answers are optional (some questions have no answers) and may be repeated (some questions have more than one answer).

Processing expectations​

Questions are frequently introduced with a label, such as “A:”. If a Question has a Label child element, the content of that Label is used as the label for the Question. The DefaultLabel attribute on the nearest ancestor QandASet of a Question can be used to indicate that a processing application should automatically generate a label for the Question.

Parents​

These elements contain question: qandaentry.
