# Documentation styleguide
|
|
|
|
This styleguide recommends best practices to improve documentation and to keep it organized and easy to find.
|
|
|
|
## Text
|
|
|
|
- Split up long lines, this makes it much easier to review and edit. Only
|
|
double line breaks are shown as a full line break in markdown. 80 characters
|
|
is a good line length.
|
|
- For subtitles, make sure to start with the largest and go down, meaning:
|
|
`#` for the title, `##` for subtitles and `###` for subtitles of the subtitles, etc.
|
|
- Make sure that the documentation is added in the correct directory and that there's a link to it somewhere useful.
|
|
- Add only one H1 or title in each document, by adding '#' at the begining of it (when using markdown).
|
|
For subtitles, use '##', '###' and so on.
|
|
- Do not duplicate information.
|
|
- Be brief and clear.
|
|
- Whenever it applies, add documents in alphabetical order.
|
|
|
|
## Images
|
|
|
|
- Create a directory to store the images with the specific name of the document where the images belong.
|
|
It could be in the same directory where the .md document that you're working on is located.
|
|
- Images should have a specific, non-generic name that will differentiate them.
|
|
- Keep all file names in lower case. |
