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.
