<!-- This ought to be more about how to use the wiki markup than about style guidelines but those ought to be mentioned via link. Silly, I should have added this as a comment. -->
−
===Objective===
+
== Handbook ==
−
The purpose of defining how pages on the wiki should be written, is to help maintain consistency by having a set guideline, and to enable easier translations of the site into other languages. Since this page is easily accessible below the edit box, it (currently) contains more details of style than actual edit instruction.

===Typographic Conventions===
+
== Special Characters ==
−
 
+
−
The PC-BSD Handbook uses the following typographic conventions:
+
−
 
+
−
:'''bold text:''' represents a command written at the command line. In usage examples, the font is changed with any command output displayed in unbolded text.
+
−
 
+
−
:''italic text:'' used to represent device names or file name paths.
+
−
 
+
−
:''' ''bold italic text:'' ''' used to emphasize an important point.
+
−
 
+
−
===Language usage and word choice===
+
−
 
+
−
To facilitate future translations avoid the following:
+
−
 
+
−
;Contractions
+
−
:in place of '''''don't''''', '''''can't''''' or '''''won't''''' use '''do not''', '''cannot''', or '''will not'''.
+
−
 
+
−
;Avoid brand names
+
−
:use '''web''' ''search'' instead of '''''Google''' search''
+
−
 
+
−
===Special Characters===
+
−
;Traversal of menus/windows
+
−
:use an arrow (➜) as in the example:
+
−
::PC-BSD control panel ➜ System manager ➜ System packages tab
+
