EDITING



Wiki editing guideline
======================

Ideally, text authors should apply only semantic (not visual) markup.
Unfortunately the Markdown format only supports visual markup.

These are suggestions for pseudo-semantic markup using Markdown or
Mediawiki, suitable for post-processing also into print formats.

  * Use emphasis + doublequote for foreign terms.
  * Use doublequote + emphasis for titles.
  * Use strong emphasis only for essential keywords, and very sparsely.
  * Use blockquote only for citation (not as emphasis for other blocks).
  * Use blockquote for citation block (not blockquote + other quotes).
  * Use bibliography at each citation (preferrably at the end).
  * Use canonical URL in hyperlink (not wikilink or relative URL).
  * Use hyperlink only in footnote and bibliography (not in text body).
  * Use square brackets for meta comments (not paranthesis).
  * Use verbatim only for code and shell commands.
