<p class="docs-lead">Bulkhead OS supports several content types, each designed for a specific purpose. Choosing the right type ensures your content gets the right layout, metadata, and discoverability.</p>

<h2 id="available-types">Available Types</h2>
<table>
<thead><tr><th>Type</th><th>Best for</th><th>Example</th></tr></thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td><strong>Page</strong></td><td>Standalone pages</td><td>About, Contact, Now page</td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Inform</strong></td><td>Knowledge articles</td><td>Documentation, FAQ, guides</td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Post</strong></td><td>Timely content</td><td>Blog posts, field notes, announcements</td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Procedure</strong></td><td>Step-by-step guides</td><td>Tutorials, how-tos, recipes</td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Event</strong></td><td>Time-bound happenings</td><td>Meetups, workshops, markets</td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Linkblog</strong></td><td>External links with commentary</td><td>Reading roundups, curated links</td></tr>

<h2 id="choosing-type">Choosing a Type</h2>
<p>Each type affects how your content appears:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pages</strong> get no date, no author — they're timeless</li>
<li><strong>Posts</strong> get a publication date and author — they're part of your feed</li>
<li><strong>Procedures</strong> render with numbered steps and a reading time estimate</li>
<li><strong>Events</strong> include date/time fields and can appear in calendar views</li>
</ul>

<div class="docs-callout docs-callout--info">
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> If you're building a documentation site, use the <strong>Inform</strong> type for your docs pages. It's designed for structured knowledge that doesn't expire.</p>
