Add an easy-to-create, stylish FAQ section to your website. Display your frequently asked questions using the supplied shortcode (<code>[faq]</code>) and show/hide them via an animated, jQuery toggle or accordion box. 
The FAQ’s can be displayed in groups by tagging them during the FAQ item’s creation. They can also be loaded closed or open, and for long FAQ’s, there’s a checkbox to add a “return to top” link at the bottom.
