<learningContent>

A Learning Content topic provides the learning content itself, and enables direct use of content from DITA task, concept, and reference topics, as well as additional content of any topic type that supports specific objectives declared in the Learning Overview topic type.

A learning content topic comprises a set of self-contained content about a single terminal learning objective supported by zero or more enabling learning objectives.

A learning content topic is rendered as single result component (for example, a single HTML page) when it has subordinate topics. The subordinate topics either can be direct child elements or associated through a map. This rendering result can be requested by specifying a value of "to-content" for the @chunk attribute of <topicref> elements that reference <learningContent> topics. This is the default value for the <learningContentRef> element that is provided by the learning map domain.

<learningContent id="learningcontent">
<title>Your Mail Inbox</title>
  <learningContentbody>
    <lcObjectives>
      <lcObjectivesStem>When you complete this topic, you'll understand:</lcObjectivesStem>
        <lcObjectivesGroup>
            <lcObjective>How to use the mail inbox.</lcObjective>
        </lcObjectivesGroup>
