Frequently Asked Questions

Can documents on the DC Register be cross-posted on Drafts DC?

Drafts DC is great for posting drafts of documents as they are being developed, but it’s also useful and appropriate to post a copy of policy documents in conjunction with posting them officially to the DC Register. In this context, comments received via Drafts DC during the official public comment period should be treated no differently than comments received via mail, email, or other channels.

Glossary of Terms

  • A glossary term

    To add glossary terms, edit the glossary.yaml file in the _data folder.

  • Another term

    Glossary terms need a term, slug, and definition attribute. The term attribute will appear above the definition. The slug is a unique identifier for the term. It should be lowercase, with no special characters or punctuation, and any spaces replaced with a dash.

  • Yet another term

    Want to link to a specific glossary term in your text, like this one here? You will need to edit your markdown like so:

    [this one here](#glossary){:define="yet-another-term"}
    

    Just place the text you want linked in the brackets and the correct slug within the quotes.
