= Boost Style Guide
|
|
|
|
This document outlines the style guidelines for the site-docs. Adhering to these
|
|
guidelines will help ensure consistency and cohesion across all pages of the website.
|
|
|
|
== Color Guidelines
|
|
[disc]
|
|
* Boost Mustard
|
|
|
|
** only use for one or two key top level headings.
|
|
** never on inactive UI controls
|
|
** OK to use for hover state
|
|
** never use large areas of this color in illustrations
|
|
** never used as an endpoint of a color blend
|
|
|
|
== Wording Guidelines
|
|
[disc]
|
|
* The word "Boost" should occur no more than once per page, not counting logo, but logo should not be visible in two places.
|
|
** user generated content excluded
|
|
|
|
* The word "C++" should occur no more than once on a page
|
|
** user-generated content excluded
|
|
|
|
We want to minimize the number of times we use the word "Boost" on a page. Since the logo in the header has the word "Boost" in it, sometimes we will have no choice but to use the word at least twice on a page. But we should try to minimize the repetitions.
|
|
|
|
== URL Display
|
|
[disc]
|
|
* Per-library links (e.g. GitHub or docs) should use a schemeless URL:
|
|
|
|
image::url-style-guide-image.png[]
|
|
|
|
== Image Display
|
|
[disc]
|
|
* User avatars should never be displayed squared, always with rounded corners
