In order to keep the appearance of the User Guide consistent, we are recommending the following guidelines:
- Each page has a top-level header(
# Linear Regression
) - Headers in pages are fourth-level headers (
#### Experimentation Policies
) - Fifth-level headers should only be used if they are in a fourth-level section.
- Capitalize headers according to http://web.archive.org/web/20130117225252/http://writersblock.ca/tips/monthtip/tipmar98.htm
- No line breaks within a paragraph
- When referring to APIs inline:
- Wrap the string in backticks:
graphlab.deploy.map_job.create
- Use the entire namespace chain upon first mention, then just the member:
create
- Don't use parentheses, unless you include the entire signature.
- Link an inline API to the public API docs on turi.com, at least upon first mention.
- Annotate Python code with
python
- For readability, include an empty line before the code snippet
- line breaks within code snippets: 80 columns
