Below is a description, usage and example for each type.
An FAQ is a short question with a 1-2 paragraph answer. You can add several questions to a FAQ area and group the questions into sections::
FAQ Example Question: What is Plone? Answer: Plone is an open source Enterprise Content Management System (ECM/CMS) that runs on top of Zope and CMF.
A HowTo is a one-page description on how to accomplish something, but is folderish, so Files/Images can be attached. It's usually very brief and to-the-point.
Typical How-Tos:
A tutorial is a multi-paged article with lots of detail. The tutorial is more in-depth than a How-to, and may cover the conceptual aspects of the task, in addition to the practical steps to get the job done.
If you are unsure of the difference of a How-to and a Tutorial, think about it as the difference between a recipe that only teaches you what ingredients are needed, and how to bake the cake (How-to), and an article telling you about the history behind cakes in general, that may or may not teach you how to actually bake one (Tutorial).
Typical Tutorials:
An error reference is meant to be the explanation of a particular error, with details on how to fix it, if relevant.
