A few additional hints:
- Spelling — In English, use US English spelling only. Please, spell-check your contributions. Some browsers have integrated spell-checking that will work with the wiki editor. If that is not the case, you can use third-party tools that allow you to spell-check the content of forms. For example, the Google Toolbar offers such spell-checker.
- Terminology — Some terms are defined in the Glossary section, please use them.
- Slashes in path — Use slashes ('
/') rather than backslashes ('\') in all real links. You can use slashes or backslashes as the platform requires in the links that are only displayed.
