Article Standards

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

General

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.
