How to Use Adverbs in Technical Documents

It is widely thought that adverbs are evil. You’ll see this repeated over and over in numerous articles that promise to teach you the fine art of writing. Technical writers create a lot of text, some of it is less generic than other and this ‘less generic text’ brings them closer to novelists, bloggers journalists, as they start wondering whether there is something wrong with their writing style. However, are adverbs really that evil as it’s considered? Read here: ‘How to Use Adverbs in Technical Documents’.

Interesting Documentation Idea

Grav is a Fast, Simple, and Flexible file-based Web-platform. They realized a good idea in their documentation — topics that you’ve read are marked. It’s an interesting concept to make your documentation more user-friendly.

Google Announced Docsy

Have you ever struggled with the process of creating documentation for an open source project? Do you have an open source project that’s outgrown its README? Open source projects need great docs to succeed, but great open source doc sites aren’t always easy to produce and share.

Google supports over 2000 open source projects, and there has been growing demand from these projects for tooling and guidance to help them write and publish their documentation. To meet this need Google created Docsy: a documentation website with templates and guidance for documentation, which we’re open sourcing to the public to use and help improve the tool.
