- PLAIN TEXT IS GREAT
- -------------------
- When you're just keeping personal notes or files that will never be printed,
- plain text with simple formatting is the way to go!
- Rules
- -----
- Major headings should be written in all caps. Sub headings are written in title
- case. A row of dashes should be placed on the next line, matching the length of
- the header.
- Text is hard-wrapped at 80 characters. This is debatable, but I like it because
- I spend a lot of time with multiple windows side-by-side. Readability studies
- suggest that the best thing is to wrap at 10 words per line, but that's too much
- of a pain without justified text.
- Any source code, examples, or quotes should be indented two spaces:
- public static void main(String[] args){
- System.out.println("I love you.");
- }
- * bulleted lists use an asterisk followed by a space
- * like so
- * Nested lists are fine as well
- * Align the indented asterisk with the text of the parent list
- * It's simple and readable
- 1. Follow the same rules for numbered lists.
- 2. The actual format of numbered lists is a stylistic choice that can be left to
- the author.
- a) With numbered lists, choose a counting system for each rank, and stick
- with it. I like numbers for the outer list, lowercase letters for sub-
- lists, and lowercase Roman numerals for sub-sub-list. I don't generally
- need more than that.
