A doctype provides a template to generate documents that share a common structure. Basically a document contains properties and sections. Properties are defined within the Document Properties Marker Macro, sections by the Section Macro.

The properties increase the findability of information in your documents. Due to automatic lists (e.g. the Display Table Macro), you also increase the navigability.

The space homepage is the main entry point to a space and is standard for Confluence. For each page you create with a blueprint wizard, Confluence will also create an index page. This index contains a reference to all documents of that type. projectdoc blueprints often replace this standard index page with one that contains the Display Table Macro. projectdoc also introduces the concept of a doctype homepage. These homepages are very similar to both homepages and index pages. The allow to add pages in a hierarchy design them to your requirements like space homepages do. On the other hand they are also the main target page to add new pages of that doctype.

With delegate and search spaces you can link clusters of spaces together.

• Delegate spaces provided documents to be applied to multiple spaces - e.g. roles or qualities are use. 
• Search spaces are consulted by all query macros (such as Display Table Macro) to fetch documents marching their constraints.
