This is an old revision of the document!
Format guide
suggestions in consideration of the designer's convenience
…for final import-ready docs
- cleaned up as much as possible (whitespace, etc.)
- rtf format preserving local formatting only (bold, italics, etc.)
- and optionally, basic style indications (headings, subheadings, body text)
style/formatting guidelines
- “double” + “smart/real” first-level quotes
- italics for foreign words not in dictionary (standard practice)
- numbers generally spelt out when the numerical data is not the focus, except for dates and other exceptions
- punctuation inside the “quotes,” not “outside”. (choosing the aesthetic versus the logical option for punctuation)
- citation styles - to be finalised………
