Document formatting¶
This guide standardises how pages are written and formatted. It does not change the information architecture of the site; it keeps tone, rhythm, and markup consistent across sections.
Page Opening¶
- Start each page with one short lead paragraph after the H1 or the introductory H2 block.
- Keep the lead paragraph to 1 to 3 sentences that answer what the page covers and why it matters.
- Apply the
leadutility class to that paragraph.
Section Rhythm¶
- Start each major section with one short bridge sentence before a list, table, or diagram.
- Apply the
section-introutility class when the sentence is there only to guide reading rhythm. - Keep each paragraph focused on one idea.
Emphasis Rules¶
- Use bold for principles, key judgments, or named concepts.
- Use inline code for package names, fields, directories, commands, and file formats.
- Do not bold full sentences or entire list items.
Lists And Tables¶
- Prefer one idea per list item.
- Use
tight-listfor short navigation lists or compact capability summaries. - Keep tables scan-friendly: short labels on the left, explanations on the right.

Admonitions¶
- Use
tipfor recommended reading paths or starting points. - Use
notefor scope boundaries and terminology. - Use
warningonly for limitations, risks, or easy-to-misread behavior. - Avoid stacking multiple admonitions in one short page section.
