Website/Style Guide

In order to guarantee a professional and consistent look of the website, editors are asked to abide by the following style guidelines:

  • Don't use top-level headings (=) in pages, they're too big – start with second-level ones (==) instead. Often an explicit top heading is not required because the page name already serves as a good title.
  • Say "e-mail" instead of "email" ("E-mail" when capitalized).
  • Emphasize (foo, italic) project/product/company names such as SPF, Sender ID, Yahoo, wherever they're used as such (i.e. not in "uses the letters 'SPF'", "v=spf1", etc., and not if they're the only word(s) in a heading).
  • Do <tt></tt> (teletype) terms like v=spf1 and MAIL FROM that are taken literally from protocols when they occur in continuous text, and <code></code> them (and the entire paragraph) within code/log snippets. (<code> disables all meta-character interpretation such as '', etc.)
