- Top level headings use Sentence case. (Note: as of 1/4/18, we have a mix of title and sentence case. Needs to be improved.)
- All other headings use Sentence case, where only the first word and any proper nouns have a capital letter.
- Use capitalization only for a proper noun, and use throughout. For example, "stack" should almost always be lowercase in text
- References to the Pulumi CLI or CLI commands should be enclosed in backticks (e.g.,
pulumi update
). - References to UI elements within a webpage should be bold. (e.g., "Go to the Account page in the Pulumi Console and select sync profile with GitHub").
- Use arrows to indicate a navigation. (e.g., "Go to FooPage -> BarItem").
- Use hash marks for headings (
#
,##
, etc) - Use double-asterisks for bold
**
- Use underscore for italic
_
- Use triple-backtick and language for code formatting, e.g. ```typescript
