ConceptThe <concept> element is the top-level
element for a topic that answers the question "what is?" Concepts
provide background information that users must know before they can successfully
work with a product or interface. Often, a concept is an extended definition
of a major abstraction such as a process or function. It might also have an
example or a graphic, but generally the structure of a concept is fairly simple.
