Citations
If referencing another source, or summarizing information, provide a link or reference back to the original source.


In addition, portions of the existing Eclipse_Doc_Style_Guide guidelines have been used and extended.

Goals

This guideline is here to help the author of Eclipse Documentation use the wiki as their content source. To make sure that there is a consistent look and feel, this guideline will provide guidance on:

  • Authoring Resources
  • Style
  • Publishing

Those wishing to help contribute, are encouraged to do so.

Chapters

The DocumentationGuidelines are made of of several pages and sub-pages. This section as well as the Category:Documentation and Category:Draft_Documentation pages can be used to review the relevant chapters.
