Okapi Framework - Developer's GuideHelp Authoring Guidelines |
|
When writing the help documents that go along with a module of the framework, you should try to adhere to the following guidelines to allow a more consistent user experience:
Use the common CSS stylesheet help.css
file located at the top
of the help
directory structure. Use a relative path to point to it.
Use <cite>
for any text referring to a text of the
user interface.
Example: The Custom sub-folder option.
Use <i>
for resource property names.
Example: The approved target property.
Use <kbd>
for key names.
Example: The shortcut is Ctrl+O.
Use <code>
for any text referring to a source code, paths,
and filenames
Example: Use <code>
for any text referring to a source code.
Use <b>
for emphasis. Be careful not to emphasize too
many words.
Example: This is important.
Use relative path for links whenever possible.
Use slashes ('/
') not backslashes ('\
') in the
links.
Whenever possible use the terminology already in used in the other parts of the framework's documents. This avoid misunderstandings and help in getting a better view of the big picture.
Many terms are defined in the Glossary section of this guide. Use them.
Use the US English spelling.
