Subbing help

If you want to post a series of articles that're linked, but post them as separate pieces, how do you do it? I know there's the tag system, but I'm pretty sure there's something beyond that, like how Aufheben always have parent pages and so on for their stuff. Sorry if this is a bit incoherent.

I think you'd have to use the book template no? In this way you could add these articles as subchapters.

yes, the issues of aufheben are set up as a book.

To do that, set up the article page for the one you want to be the parent, so for the one you want all the others to be linked to from, like this:
http://libcom.org/library/right-lazy-paul-lafargue

When you are setting up the page, below the body field there is a field called Book outline. Click that, then select create a new book.

Then when you save the page at the bottom of the article will be the option " add child page".

To add articles into the series, click this link on the parent article, then add as normal

You have the option to add attachments at the bottom of the page- just make sure that you tick the box to list attachments.

yeah make sure you list them, otherwise they won't show up after you save the page (I'm not exactly sure what the purpose of an invisible attachment is tbh).

exactly. We mostly use it for additional images in the text
