Wiki editing guideline ====================== Ideally, text authors should apply only semantic (not visual) markup. Unfortunately, Markdown and Mediawiki formats only cover visual markup. These are suggestions for pseudo-semantic Markdown/Mediawiki markup, suitable for post-processing into both web-based and print formats. * Use -- (dash dash) for sentence break or parenthetical statement. * Use - (hyphen-minus) for ranges or minus (nothing else). * Use doublequote (") for short quote (e.g. max. 3 lines or 50 words). * Use singlequote (') for short quote within short quote. * Use blockquote (alone) for long quote (nothing else). * Use cite or --- (dash dash dash) after each short or long quote. * Use hyperlink or footnote for non-citation related info. * Use emphasis + doublequote for technical or foreign term. * Use doublequote + emphasis for title. * Use strong emphasis for essential keyword (nothing else). * Use canonical URL (not wikilink or relative URL) in hyperlink. * Use square brackets (not paranthesis) for meta comment. * Use verbatim for code or shell command (nothing else). * Fix or remove visual markup in quoted text (e.g. punctuation abuse). -- Jonas Smedegaard Mon, 15 Dec 2014 15:28:48 +0100
