Articles can be grouped into different types, and options are provided to change the style of how each type of article is displayed.
A default image for the articles can be defined in the Topic selection, and this will then allow all articles under a praticular topic to have the same logo or other image. Alternatively each article can have it's own image attached for the listing.
Articles like any other content can have links to other material attached to them and these appear when the full article is viewed. ( See Attachments )
