Introduction

A microchaptered page is a page with sub-chapters created for more complex diseases and syndromes. The microchapters are listed in boxes on the right side of the disease homepage, and will link to specific areas of interest pertaining to the disease. The templates listed below contain standardized language that will assist you in creating and editing your microchapters. Using templates maintains the completeness and consistency of Wikidoc pages, and allows users to have ease in navigating the site. To view and practice navigating a page with microchapters, click here to see the page on pericarditis. To view a more extensively microchaptered page, click here to see the page on chronic stable angina.
