You should see the public page. You should also see two links on head section named sections and contents. if you override the authorization methods (described in later section) make sure you have permissions to access those pages.

Two models are there.

You can have multilevel section. You can consider this as category. Sections are hierarchical, but only leaves are eligible to have contents

You can create content as question/answer or faq under a specific section. If you love rich text editor for content then see the last section of Readme.

def authorize_to_manage_how_to! #you can set the method name in config file
  redirect_to :root, :notice => t('notifications.admin_section_access_error') unless admin?
end

def allowed_to_view_how_to #you can set the method name in config file
  redirect_to main_app.root_path, :notice => t('notifications.admin_section_access_error') unless current_user
end

def permitted_to_manage_how_to? #you can set the method name in config file
  admin?
end

rails g how_to:layout

rails g how_to:view

Then set

config.rich_text_enabled = true

in initializers/how_to_config.rb file
