Arguments are separated by semicolon not by colon. Please look where
to change it in addition to the place I have changed. I don't know why
you mention "colon" in the other places.
My first approach was to look into the inconsistencies of the current
help style. "colon" is mentioned in the other places because currently
we have several cases where the "Syntax" and "Example" headings as well
as the arguments are followed by a colon. That should change for reasons
of consistency.
Yes, then it should be mentioned in the style guide.
These are all good points although most of them are more related to the
contents than to the style of the help. I will try to include your
comments into the help style guide as far as it is possible.
I have looked at the changes and found
no quotes, except if they are literal
=DATE(00;1;31) yields 1/31/00 if the cell format setting is "MM/DD/YY"
That's such a point which shows the difficulties (and where my
"MM/DD/YY" was bad). If you use quotes in normal texts everyone will
understand it. But when mixed with syntax descriptions they are
dangerous. For example in cell format codes you can also use quotes to
include a text in the format, like
"€ "0.00
I put it here on a new line to separate it from the text. The style
guide must include a rule how to cite settings and other formal things,
without using quotes. Are accessibility tools able to evaluate tags in
the produced HTML code? In that case I suggest to use one of the HTML
elements. HTML tag <q> or <samp> or <code> might be suitable. Such
element can be bind to a style via css, which gives the element another
text color or text style or font or background color or what you like to
distinguish it from text. With such tags you can use different styles
for normal and for high contrast.
In the current application help such citations and syntax examples have
very different styles.
kind regards
Regina
