Search with Taxonomy Tags

One of the benefits of using Taxonomies is that they make it easier for authors to find related topics and other resources. Instead of having to know which folders contain the topics you need, you can find content based on the taxonomies.

Tip

To filter your content so that parts of it are hidden in certain circumstances, you can use the profiling attributes or taxonomies.

If you decide to use taxonomies, Paligo will use the taxonomy tag hierarchy to determine which parts of your content should be included or excluded when you publish. For example, you could have taxonomy tags for each type of output, so that when you publish to HTML any topics that have a PDF tag are not included.

To find out how to set up Paligo to use taxonomies for filtering, see Taxonomy Filters.
