Member Resources Style Guide

A few guidelines to keep things smart and stylish.

For general usage questions, see the official documentation for BookStack (the software this site uses)

Use "Callouts" (found under paragraph/header styles) to add visual punch:

Info: Use this to attribute an article to a source

Success: Great for highlighting winning strategies

Warning: A mild heads up, i.e. some of the info on this page is outdated, or in the process of being cleaned up.

Danger: You can't touch this

Links and attachments

When a link takes you to something like a google document, slide show or a PDF hosted elsewhere, save that item in a reasonably compatible format and upload it as an attachment. Link to the attached version.

If a link is pointing to an external website, use the Wayback Machine at archive.org to grab a snapshot; link to that instead of the live page, in case it goes down or is moved in the future.

Tags

The tags feature can make it easy to find multiple pages that hew to a similar theme, even if they're not grouped in the same chapter. So far, the Safety tag is being added to anything that deals with potentially dangerous situations.

Comment

If you're in the process of making changes or considering the best way to proceed, add a comment down below to share your thought process! Once the comment is no longer relevant, it can be archived (in case seeing that past thinking might be useful) or deleted (if it seems like it wouldn't make sense at all without its former context).
