Hello Michele,

Docbook qanda used to create FAQs is not suppored by Yelp.

I think that the FAQ is still a valid document format, but not for Yelp. The 
FAQ should be transformed to X/HTML and copied to the Web Site. Thinking of 
this I think it should be in the web src not the app doc src.

Hope this helps.
