What is Citable content?

Citable content is material written so an answer engine can extract it and attribute it with no extra work. It isn't an official term, it's a way of describing a style of writing: the answer to the question stated up front, in one or two sentences that stand alone, concrete and checkable facts, question-style headings, and one idea per page. The opposite is text that meanders and never yields a clean sentence to lift out.
