Introduction

The page details the styling guide to follow when contributing to the Handbook. In case of any further question, please reach out to the Maintainers of the page.

Headings

Content headings should be second-level headings whereas first-level headings are reserved for page titles. Moreover, content headings should summarise in the best way possible the corresponding paragraph. As an example

#   Page Title

## Paragraph Content

Capitalization

For titles and heading, the recommendation is to use sentence case. This means using capital letters in a sentence or capitalizing only the first word or any proper nouns.

Links to other handbook pages or to external resources should conform to the few general guidelines:

  • linked text should describe the content the link leads to. A good choice would be to use the page title.
  • use paths from the repository root for links to other handbook pages. For example, to link the handbook page About the Handbook, use the path docs/Handbook/AboutTheHandbook.mdx.
  • use absolute urls for links to external pages. For example to link the google website, use https://www.google.com/.
