Document Style Guide is a style guide that establishes writing conventions for Chinese-language technical documentation.
The guide addresses the problem of inconsistency in how technical content is written and formatted in Chinese by providing a comprehensive set of rules covering titles, body text, paragraphs, numerals, punctuation, document structure, and reference links. It works by laying out specific conventions for each of these elements, allowing documentation teams and individual writers to follow a unified standard when producing technical material.
Teams working on Chinese technical documentation should adopt this guide if consistency across their content matters and they want to avoid repeated decisions about formatting and style. It suits projects ranging from software libraries to infrastructure tools where multiple contributors write documentation that needs to read as a cohesive whole. The guide is particularly valuable for organizations publishing documentation in Chinese where no single standard has been established internally.
The project is maintained as a stable reference resource with a public domain license, making it freely available for adoption and modification without restriction.
