The direct answer

A question-and-answer format can help readers, but markup alone does not ensure a search feature or AI citation. Eligibility depends on current supported rules.

Start with the evidence

Review the content's usefulness and the specific platform documentation. Check whether the answers are visible and truthful.

Make the change deliberately

Use supported markup only where appropriate and maintain the answers. Do not create hundreds of shallow FAQs solely to pursue a display feature.

Platform guidance can change. Consult the current official documentation before making platform-specific changes.
