techdocsmith opened a new issue, #14901:
URL: https://github.com/apache/druid/issues/14901

   ### Motivation
   
   The Druid docs have evolved with only a basic attention to documentation 
style. Some effort has been made to provide stylistic guidance in the 
documentation contribution guide: 
   https://druid.apache.org/docs/latest/development/contribute-to-docs/ 
   
   As the project matures, it makes sense to adopt a common style so that 
contributors have a common reference when composing and reviewing documentation.
   
   ### Proposed changes
   
   Rather than create a new style, I recommend we follow the Google Developer 
Documentation Style Guide: https://developers.google.com/style. Open to 
   
   Where the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide is not consistent with 
the goals of the Apache Druid documentation, we document the exception for 
clarity. One such example would be to avoid code font for SQL syntax which can 
make the documentation more difficult to read.
   
   ### Rationale
   
   It is easier to adopt an existing style that aligns with the principal goals 
of the documentation (developer docs) rather than to attempt to create an 
exhaustive unique style
   
   ### Operational impact
   
   Improved reference when creating and reviewing documentation.
   
   ### Future work (optional)
   
   There will need to be ongoing maintenance of the style guide to keep it 
relevant.
