How can users include Web Content articles into the `resources/journal/articles` folder?

Including Web Content articles into the resources/journal/articles folder can be effectively achieved by using XML. This format is widely employed within Liferay for content management because it allows structured data to be easily read and parsed by the system. In Liferay, XML files can define various aspects of Web Content articles, including their structure and metadata, making it possible to import or export content seamlessly.

Using XML for this purpose also aligns with the way Liferay handles content data. It provides a clear schema and allows developers to manage content with precision. This method helps in maintaining consistency across different environments and ensures that the articles are correctly recognized by the system when placed in the designated folder.

The other methods mentioned do not align directly with the typical approaches required to include articles into the resources/journal/articles directory within Liferay. JSON is generally not used for this specific purpose in the framework, modifying the global theme configuration pertains more to how themes are structured and displayed rather than managing Web Content, and setting up a specialized plugin usually involves more complex custom functionality beyond just including articles.
