This page provides background information required to complete the exercises in this tutorial.
In this tutorial we will use a powerful mechanism for reusing and customizing existing content called method content variability. The original content will not be affected by our operations, however, we will build upon it as a base for defining our new content. Then we will demonstrate that modifications to the base content are automatically inherited by variable content in dependent plug-ins. When the resulting configuration is published as a Web site or exported, all of our customization will be resolved into a single resource.
