Notes Style Guide

Content

  • begin with a 'Introduction' section to motivate the topic, introduce required terminology, etc.
  • end with a 'Resources' section that lists most important sources for previous content and additional resources to learn more
  • use bullet point writing style, each chunk of information explains only one thing, chunks sorted in logical order from simple to complex, like a mathematical proof
  • don't duplicate existing chunks, instead refer to original chunk, except if critical warning that needs to remind about again
  • feel free to rewrite and restructure sections, don't build "on top of it", shouldn't be a Wikipedia-like loose pile of facts, instead a coherent learning guide
  • keep example code snippets as simple as possible, focus only on single purpose, not showcase of full use in production

Style

  • set 1 tab to 2 spaces, never use the tab character
  • lists don't contain blank lines between items
  • two break a new line within a list item, leave 2 spaces at end of list item and indent next line by 2 spaces
  • put code boxes in top-level between two lists instead of in list item, only if code is in the middle of a second-level list don't outdent so second-level list doesn't break
  • use sections with ##, only first title is #
  • use 3 blank lines between sections, only 1 blank line to separate any deeper hierarchy
  • put 1 space between words, including emojis, e.g. Hello World 🚀
  • put single emoji at end of every "beware:", chain three warning signs if it is of critical importance, e.g. ❗️, ⚠️, 🎉, ⚠️⚠️⚠️, etc.
