How to write summaries for web and intranet pages, and why
Here's a nice list of the different types of summaries that one can write:
- The executive summary - summary: This is an executive summary, similar to the first sentence in a news story.
- The key message - summary: This type of summary conveys the single most important message on the page.
- The description - summary: The page description is probably the easiest option for the writer, if slightly dull for the reader. It faintly resembles the abstract that precedes an academic article.
- The instructions - summary: Sometimes it's easiest to just say when and how the page should be used.
