howto-section-generator
Components: HowTo Section
Guides HowTo as an in-page section: a block of ordered steps (and optional HowTo JSON-LD) embedded inside article, documentation, tool, or landing pages. Not a standalone page type—parent page structure and templates come from article-page-generator, docs-page-generator, tools-page-generator, landing-page-generator, etc. Distinct from FAQ (Q&A → FAQPage) and from full article body drafting alone (article-content). schema-markup remains the source for exhaustive Schema.org property rules and type-wide tables; this skill owns section-level placement, copy, HTML, and HowTo-vs-FAQ decisions.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
HowTo Section vs FAQ Section
| Dimension | HowTo section | FAQ section |
|---|---|---|
| Intent | User follows ordered steps to complete a task | User reads Q&A pairs for doubts |
| Structure | Steps (1→2→3), optional tools/time/supplies | Question → answer per item |
| Schema | HowTo (Schema.org) | FAQPage |
| UI | Often horizontal tabs for steps; or numbered list in flow | Often vertical accordion |
| Skill | howto-section-generator (this) | faq-page-generator |
Do not mark FAQ content as HowTo or vice versa; schema must match visible content.
