Handbook Style Guide

Introduction​

The page details the styling guide to follow when contributing to the Handbook. In case of any further question, please reach out to the Maintainers of the page.

Headings​

Content headings should be second-level headings whereas first-level headings are reserved for page titles. Moreover, content headings should summarise in the best way possible the corresponding paragraph. As an example

# Page Title

## Paragraph Content

Capitalization​

For titles and heading, the recommendation is to use sentence case. This means using capital letters in a sentence or capitalizing only the first word or any proper nouns.

Links to other handbook pages or to external resources should conform to the few general guidelines:

  • linked text should describe the content the link leads to. A good choice would be to use the page title.
  • use paths from the repository root for links to other handbook pages. For example, to link the handbook page About the Handbook, use the path /docs/Handbook/AboutTheHandbook.mdx.
  • use absolute urls for links to external pages. For example to link the google website, use https://www.google.com/.
  • the syntax for a link to an email address is [name lastname](mailto:name.lastname@openenergytransition.org).

Images​

Images should be placed under the folder path static/img/. They can be linked with the command ![picture name link](/img/image_name.png)
