Article Standards

When writing and reviewing your articles please stick to the following standards:

General

• Always use proper spelling and grammar

Links

• Always link to internal Grooper Wiki articles using the [[Article Name]] syntax. Ex:
  • Tabular Layout
  • [[Tabular Layout]]
• For external links either:
  • Use the full text link
    • https://www.grooper.com
    • https://www.grooper.com
  • Or, use the nickname syntax Grooper
    • Grooper
    • [https://www.grooper.com Grooper]
  • NEVER use the footnote syntax
    • [1]
    • [https://www.grooper.com]
• If a linkable topic exists multiple times in an article, link the word or phrase the first time it appears in an article's section.
  • Linking to an article more than once per section crowds the topic and makes it more difficult to read.
  • Visit the Article Formatting#Links page for more information.

Bolding and Italics

• Bold all Grooper objects
  • What's an object? A good rule of thumb is anything you can add to the Node Tree is an object.
    • Ex: Batch, Batch Folder, Batch Page, Value Reader, Content Model, Data Model, Document Type
• Bold and Italicize all Grooper properties
  • What's a property? Anything in a property configuration grid.
  • Ex: A Value Reader only has one configurable property, the Extractor Type property.
• Italicize all Grooper property settings in "How To" sections.
  • Ex: On the Data Field, set the Display Width to 200
• When referring to a property selection that has sub-property configurations, keep that property in bold italics.
  • For example, Pattern Match is an Extractor Type'.
    • It is not a Grooper object. So, it should not be bolded.
    • But it is more than just a simple property configuration. It is a set of properties.
    • Pattern Match makes it more visually apparent that it is a set of properties.
    • Pattern Match gives the impression that it is something simple like a true/false value or a simple dropdown choice that requires no further configuration.
    • BE AWARE: This guidance was not always followed. You may find older examples in the wiki that do not follow this advice.'
