The document discusses writing reusable content to support models. It defines content models as documenting the structure of information products, including the components they contain and how they are structured. Structure shows how information products are put together and also refers to how content is written within that structure to ensure consistency. Common structures for information products include providing an overview, features, specifications, and installation procedures, with the specific order depending on the type of document.
