  1. PLAIN TEXT IS GREAT
  2. -------------------
  3.  
  4. When you're just keeping personal notes or files that will never be printed,
  5. plain text with simple formatting is the way to go!
  6.  
  7. Rules
  8. -----
  9.  
  10. Major headings should be written in all caps. Sub headings are written in title
  11. case. A row of dashes should be placed on the next line, matching the length of
  12. the header.
  13.  
  14. Text is hard-wrapped at 80 characters. This is debatable, but I like it because
  15. I spend a lot of time with multiple windows side-by-side. Readability studies
  16. suggest that the best thing is to wrap at 10 words per line, but that's too much
  17. of a pain without justified text.
  18.  
  19. Any source code, examples, or quotes should be indented two spaces:
  20.  
  21. public static void main(String[] args){
  22. System.out.println("I love you.");
  23. }
  24.  
  25. * bulleted lists use an asterisk followed by a space
  26. * like so
  27. * Nested lists are fine as well
  28. * Align the indented asterisk with the text of the parent list
  29. * It's simple and readable
  30.  
  31. 1. Follow the same rules for numbered lists.
  32. 2. The actual format of numbered lists is a stylistic choice that can be left to
  33. the author.
  34. a) With numbered lists, choose a counting system for each rank, and stick
  35. with it. I like numbers for the outer list, lowercase letters for sub-
  36. lists, and lowercase Roman numerals for sub-sub-list. I don't generally
  37. need more than that.
