Miscellaneous Guidelines

This page is for small guidelines that don't need their own wiki page.

Compatability Guidelines

These guidelines exist to minimise unnecessary compatability problems with clients that don't fully support Unicode.

Use of Quotation Marks (" and ')

• Use standard ASCII single and double quotes " and ' rather than the enhanced versions.
• Use " (one double quote) for inch.
• Use ' (one single quote) for feet.

Use of Ellipsis Mark (...)

• Use "..." (3 full stops) for an ellipsis rather than the special ellipsis character "…".
  • This was discussed on the mailing list here.
