Writing style

 

Short, decrative sentences with a crisp, active voice directed at the designer or developer who will be using our tools. View Apple's interface guidelines for a good example of the tone we'd like to follow in this wiki.Try to cross-link related plug-ins whenever possible.

 

 

Capitalization

 

Plug-in, page and section titles use sentence capitalization. Only the first word is capitalized in a title. Ex. "Language styleguide", not "Language styleguide". You can use spaces in wiki page titles -- these will appear in the URL as a "+" separator so this page's URL is "http://jqueryui.pbwiki.com/Language+styleguide".

 

In the running text, plug-ins should be written in lower case with spaces. Ex. "a select box is used...", not "a Select Box is used...".
