Capitalization

Follow a consistent capitalization scheme

Inconsistent spellings and capitalization are sloppy writing and confuses readers. Follow these capitalization guidelines:

• Capitalize proper nouns, including names of individuals, places, and companies.
• Don't capitalize agile or open source, unless either opens a sentence.
• Don't capitalize submit as an action, but do capitalize it if it is the name of an interface item or the first word of a sentence.

When you're deciding whether to capitalize noun phrases, remember title case is more formal. It can help clarify that you're speaking about a specific, official thing (such as a form, office, or person). But overuse can be confusing. Readers seeing lots of capitalized nouns can get lost in a Sea Of Words.

Headings

Headlines, page titles, subheads, and similar content should follow sentence case, and should not include a trailing colon. For example:

• Using the Insert Citation command on your proof
• ARTEMIS roles and responsibilities

If your company has a different standard, follow that.
