5.4.5 Text formatting
- Lines should be less than 72 characters long. (We personally recommend writing with 66-char lines, but do not bother modifying existing material). Also see the recommendations for fixed-width fonts in the Syntax survey.
- Do not use tabs.
-
Do not use spaces at the beginning of a line (except in
@exampleor@verbatimenvironments), and do not use more than a single space between words. ‘makeinfo’ copies the input lines verbatim without removing those spaces. - Use two spaces after a period.
-
In examples of syntax, use
@var{musicexpr}for a music expression. -
Don’t use
@rinternals{}in the main text. If you’re tempted to do so, you’re probably getting too close to “talking through the code”. If you really want to refer to a context, use@code{}in the main text and@rinternals{}in the@morerefs.
