<steps>
The <steps> element provides the
main content of a task topic. The task is described as a series of
steps that the user must follow to accomplish the task. At least one <step>
element is required inside the <steps> element.
Steps with only a single step might be rendered as a paragraph
rather than as a list. Two or more steps should typically be rendered as an ordered list. If all
of the contained steps are simple (that is, have no more than a <cmd>
element each) then the step list should default to compact. Otherwise it should be rendered as
expanded (with blank lines between each step).
