It was Paul who made the point originally, and I was certain that it was a specific GNOME documentation style guide. You may not know, but in FDP we specify this order for deciding style: 1. Chicago Manual of Style 2. GNOME Documentation Style Guide 3. Fedora Documentation Guide That is, we default to 1, then 2, and note exceptions in 3. This is typical of writing projects, having a canonical reference outside of the project, and noting project rules and exceptions in a style guide. So, it may be a CMS recommendation that I can't look up. It is not, unfortunately, specified in the GNOME guide ... but, if you look at the ToC for that guide, you won't see a title or heading with a period in it: http://developer.gnome.org/documents/style-guide/index.html We will be sure to include this rule in the next version of the Fedora Documentation Guide. For now, I'll just ask all to remember that we don't put periods in titles. FWIW, Mozilla didn't either with "Get Firefox". - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Content Services Fedora Documentation Project http://www.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject
