Jamie Edy asked this question some time ago, and John Smith reminded me about it recently.
Here is my opinion on the question of references to file formats in the user guides. * When referring to the format in text, capitalize the 3-letter term and do not include a period (full stop) or an asterisk (*); for example: PDF, ODT, ODS, DOC. This is the most common usage in our books. * When referring specifically to the file *extension*, use the form .pdf, .odt, .ods, .doc, in lower case and without an asterisk. One of the few places where this form is used is in the lists of files formats that LibreOffice can open and save to, mainly in appendix B of the Getting Started guide. When in doubt, ask on the list. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
