2. Maharaドキュメンテーション執筆者のための情報

This is a list in progress as I work on the documentation. There are a number of things for which I create conventions. I want to keep them in a central space so that others have access to them and that I can refer to them as well. ;-)

このリストは特定の順番に並べられていません。

  • スクリーンショット

    • are placed using the 「figure」 directive.
    • always include alt text and a figure description. The latter will be numbered in the PDF export. That sets them apart from the text.
    • are generally placed above a list if they are part of step-by-step instructions.
    • should have as few instructions as possible about the steps that are to be taken in them. Preferably, only the step numbers so that they can be exchanged more easily and the text of the steps is translatable because it is text and not part of the image. That could also mean that translators can translate the steps but don’t immediately have to change the screenshots.
    • are created with Shutter in Ubuntu. It is easy to add the callouts which indicate the steps to take. However, any other screenshot software can be used. Preferably, the callouts look similarly for consistency. The color is #4C711D.
    • that have callouts refer to the steps that need to be taken and that are explained below the figure.
    • should only show the necessary area and not the entire screen or URL address bars etc. where not necessary.

  • 使用されている警告は次のとおりです:

    • 注意: やや注意が必要なものです。
    • 警告: 注意が必要なものです。
    • seealso: for references to other documents if they need special attention. References to other documents can also be included in the text inline.
    • todo: for keeping a running ToDo list

  • 保存 または ページをコピーする およびポートフォリオセクションの コンテンツ、ポートフォリオ 等のボタンはテキストを強調するため「*」マークを使ってハイライトされています。

  • Little buttons can be included in the text like edit, manage. They are added through a substitution. All replacements are kept in the file shortcuts.rstext which is included at the beginning of each file in which a substitution is used. They are referenced in the text as 「Edit button edit」 for example pointing out what the action is that you do with them.

  • それぞれのセクションにインデックスエントリを作成してください。

  • New features receive an index entry as well in the form 「single: New in Mahara 1.5; [the thing that is new]」.

  • 編集時に操作しやすいよう長いセクションは複数ページに分割されます。

  • reStructuredText does not have a set hierarchy of heading levels. They depend on the individual files. However, to be consistent, the following convention exists:

    • 見出し1 例) 1.: ===============
    • 見出し2 例) 1.1.: —————
    • 見出し3 例) 1.1.1.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    • 見出し4 例) 1.1.1.1.: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  • h4以下の見出しは控えてください。
