Content and Rendering
Writing documentation for display on assorted media through various technologies presents unique requirements. In general, keep the written content and rendering information separate. Rendering information is the formatting markup language to distinguish types of information, such as bold text to add emphasis. Modern technologies empower writers to use specialized markup language to enhance communication. It is imperative writers participating in collaborative projects like the Fedora Documentation Project adhere to standards and prescribed templates.
Benefits of Content and Markup Language Separation
Keeping content material and markup language separate from each other within documentation adds an additional benefit. As new media formats develop, project coordinators easily remove markup language and re-format the original content for the new communication outlet. Therefore, separating markup language from subject matter content encourages use of the original content for future projects with little additional effort.
