Front End Help

Preface groups together user notes about a work, collection, or challenge. Items that are grouped in preface include: summary, notes, end notes, FAQ, rules, about, description. On a work page, preface is inside #workskin, so it can be styled in work skins as well as site skins.

The preface style is declared in 14-group-preface.css.

Rules

A preface can be any block containing a child that can contain these blocks: h1—6, p, div, ul, ol, dl, blockquote. Normally it’s a div.

A preface always contains a blockquote.userstuff, although the blockquote may be logicked out (e.g. if a work doesn’t have a summary or note but does have associations).

A preface can have lots of child modules. You can have a preface with restricted children: table.preface, ol, ul, or dl.preface, so long as the block children are given the module class.

You can never have an inline preface, or a phrase element preface.
