# Yii Documentation Style Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Guidelines to go by when writing or editing any Yii documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
*This needs to be expanded.*
|
||||
|
||||
## General Style
|
||||
|
||||
* Try to use an active voice.
|
||||
* Use short, declarative sentences.
|
||||
* Demonstrate ideas using code as much as possible.
|
||||
* Never use "we". It's the Yii development team or the Yii core team. Better yet to put things in terms of the framework or the guide.
|
||||
* Use the Oxford comma (e.g., "this, that, and the other" not "this, that and the other").
|
||||
* Numeric lists should be complete sentences that end with periods (or other punctuation).
|
||||
* Bullet lists should be fragments that don't end with periods.
|
||||
|
||||
## Formatting
|
||||
|
||||
## References
|
||||
|
||||
* Yii 2.0 or Yii 2 (not Yii2 or Yii2.0)
|
||||
* Each "page" of the guide is referred to as a "section".
|
||||
|
||||
## Capitalizations
|
||||
|
||||
* Web, not web
|
||||
* the guide or this guide, not the Guide
|
