Technical Writing

My Practice of Writing Documents

Preparation:

  1. list assumptions for readers
  2. write outline first.
    to be reviewed
    check order of topic should have logical dependency
  3. Pre-write quickly first.
  4. need a proof reader to check technical concept
  5. need an editor to check grammar and style.

Writing:

  1. In Wiki page style, words before TOC is like preface. The "overview" should belong to one part of content and should be made as a header.
  2. Describe the purpose or context at the beginning.
  3. To start from a basic, simple concept or fewer concepts.
  4. 1 paragraph presents 1 idea.
  5. overall concept first, an example, then technical detail
  6. keep consistent style in code or describing way in multiple related articles
  7. keep consistent wording or terminology.
  8. Summary at the end. (for small talk)
  9. Check header, footer, TOC, subsections, references
  10. Picture is better than words.
    1. Picture should be elegant.
    2. Picture should present just exactly enough information.
    3. Set align to center.
    4. Shrink size if a picture's width is wider than page width.
  11. Code example:
    1. Re-using same application as an example. It can reduce user's burden to realize your article.
    2. Focus on a general case not a specific one.
    3. Keep as short as possible.
    4. Demonstrate only key concepts and remove irrelevant codes.
    5. Demonstrate the correct API usage instead of work-around
    6. Keep number of codes as fewer as possible to reduce readers' burden.
    7. Highlight key points in descriptions of code example. (Because most engineers read code first instead of text)
  12. When using third party library, specify its version
  13. Store example codes in a version control repository. They can be changed or verified in the future.
  14. use an editor with a spell checker
  15. Write directly on wiki page instead of writing in a word processor.
  16. create a separate book for new version instead of modifying original books
    e.g. for version 3.0.0 - http://books.zkoss.org/wiki/Documentation:Books/ZK_Spreadsheet_Essentials_3

Document Style

  • Image
    • make it center
    • Shrink the size for too big one
  • Code snippet
    • give short description for a code snippet for its purpose
    • Extracted the key part
    • leave related variables declaration
    • Line number first, then description because it's easier to look up descriptions upon lines.
      • e.g. Line 13: this line's description
