User Documentation Style Guide

This page is a sample style guide for creating user documentation. This is part of UNPLANNED_USER_DOC_STRUCTURE_R0..

Organization

  • When Sophie Author/Sophie Reader/Sophie Server are separated into distinct sections, the names of the pages will be in the form "!SophieAuthorDocumentation_1_WorkingWithSophie", with the prefixes being "!SophieAuthorDocumentation_", "!SophieReaderDocumentation_", and "!SophieServerDocumentation_".
  • Each page begins with a [[BackLinksMenu]] command and ends with a [[TitleIndex(xxx)]] where 'xxx' is the page's path in the wiki.

Images

  • Images go in subversion at trunk/sophie2-platform/doc/user_doc_images/ . Images are structured by release; UNPLANNED_USER_DOC_SAMPLE contains images for the documentation sample, RELEASE_3 contains images added for RELEASE_3. Each new release will get a new subdirectory.
  • Images should not be more than 800 pixels wide.

Conventions

  • Use "Sophie 2" rather than "Sophie2": we want to emphasize continuity from Sophie 1 to Sophie 2. "Sophie 2.0" is also acceptable.
  • It is not necessary to always say "Sophie 2" or "Sophie 2.0"; simply "Sophie" is fine.

Extensibility

  • More rules will be added to this list as they are needed and created.
