Guide
Guides are designed to present complicated and long subjects by breaking them up into separate pages.
How it works
Guides have multiple parts (or chapters). Each part has a title, a body and a slug.
Live examples
- HMRC online services: sign in or set up an account
- Tax overpayments and underpayments
