This is an interesting approach. I want to actually hide the content not relevant to users.

I appreciate your reply. The content consists of pages. They have some hierarchy, but the hierarchy isn’t based on programming language. It’s more like this: * Deploying Acme – Setting up your Apache server (C++) – Setting up your IIS server(. NET) – Setting up your Tomcat server (Java) * And so on. I’m not using nay custom fields to categorize the contents. I didn’t know that was possible. Is there a plugin for that? * Re categories, parent pages, or tags, I currently don’t have the content set up around this, but I could in the future. Can you provide more detail about the solutions for those setups? * I basically want it to work like this demo: [http://docs.releasenotes.salesforce.com/en-us/summer14/release-notes/rn_included_release_notes.htm](http://docs.releasenotes.salesforce.com/en-us/summer14/release-notes/rn_included_release_notes.htm) * There’s a drop-down there that allows users to select different versions of the release notes, and then the content filters accordingly. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Author in external robust CMS and publish to WP?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-in-external-robust-cms-and-publish-to-wp/) * Thread Starter [TomJohnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomjohnson/) * (@tomjohnson) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-in-external-robust-cms-and-publish-to-wp/#post-5203486) * Thanks. This is helpful. You’ve given me a useful place to start and find out more information. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Author in external robust CMS and publish to WP?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-in-external-robust-cms-and-publish-to-wp/) * Thread Starter [TomJohnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomjohnson/) * (@tomjohnson) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-in-external-robust-cms-and-publish-to-wp/#post-5203483) * I want to publish technical user guides. I’m currently authoring with XML structured authoring methods that makes it easier to deliver different content for different audiences. Some of these XML authoring features I use include the following: * – adding attributes to text for conditional processing. E.g.,

sample text

sample text

* – re-using similar topics for different channels – enforcing consistent patterns for authoring, etc. * I know there are plenty of plugins, but they mostly enable management of content within WP itself. It would be interesting to know what tools major news sites use in publishing to WP. Besides the NYTimes, which surely has something custom built to handle this publishing workflow, are you aware of any other newspaper CMS platforms that publish to WP? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Collapsible parent pages?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/collapsible-parent-pages/) * Thread Starter [TomJohnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomjohnson/) * (@tomjohnson) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/collapsible-parent-pages/#post-5174609) * I found the perfect solution with the [Nice Navigation plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nice-navigation/).
