<investigation>

The <investigation> tag, together with <project>, <activity>, and <exploration>, are called PROJECT-like tags. They are meant to contain material for readers to do as part of their learning. PROJECT-like tags share many features and structure with EXAMPLE-like and <exercise> tags; however the connotation of their contents is different, and the visibility of components and the knowling behavior are controlled separately for each of the three categories. PROJECT-like are also on a different numbering system from other elements by default, though that behavior can be changed.
