Styles & Conventions

Styles & Conventions used in this site.

Use the bulleted or numbered lists when laying out list items. This is very important when developing themes.

Please work in plain text mode or use the rich text editor. No inline styles! In order to benefit from the efficiencies of a CMSi, the text of individual postings must be as generic as possible.

The rich text editor is safe to use to markup your html.

When pasting text from a word processor, please use the 'Paste Special' or 'Paste without formatting' option. Better yet, try to use the web interface only. As we move forward with the skin of the site, the separation of presentation from content will become clear.
