Wiki style guide - DEPRECATED

This document defines the recommended conventions for structuring and formatting the wiki documents used in the µOS++ project.

Headers

The structure of the documents should be defined by a reasonable amount of headers.

The first level of headers should use = H1 =, the second should use == H2 ==, and so on.

Regular documents usually require no more than 3 levels, maybe 4 for longer documents. Excessive use of headers should be avoided. The criteria for deciding when there are too many is the aspect of the Table of Contents; if the TOC seems to be too detailed, than the headers are in excess.

Lists

The recommended lists are bulleted lists.

Numbered lists should be used when the order of the members is important, for example in classifications, like “Top 10 Something”.

Indentation

Tables

The recommended style for tables is class=”wikitable”.

Punctuation

The usual rule with punctuation signs is to use a space after, and never use a space before.

The notable exceptions are:

  • open parenthesis/brackets
  • open apostrophe
  • open quotation marks
