A
This
is
session
three
of
get
lab
technical
writing
fundamentals.
We
are
going
to
pick
up
where
we
left
off
at
the
end
of
session
two
looking
at
a
table
that
is
not
parallel.
This
table
is
from
the
style,
guide,
the
documentation,
style
guide
and
the
second
column
under
what
belongs
here.
The
entries
are
not
parallel.
A
Now
all
the
entries
in
the
table
start
with
a
noun,
except
for
legal
documents
about
contributing
to
gitlab.
I
could
not
come
up
with
an
edit,
a
quick
edit
for
that.
That
was
not
awkward,
so
left
that
one
alone,
I
changed
the
heading.
What
belongs
here
to
contents
and
because
these
change,
it's
better
than
it
was
we
do
iterative
changes,
went
ahead
and
merged.
A
A
A
A
We
use
they
as
a
singular
pronoun,
because
that's
inclusive
language,
an
example
of
that
is
pat
needs
help.
They
can't
do
it
alone
and
we
avoid
wordiness
we
edit
for
wordiness.
If
a
sentence
has
more
than
25
words,
it's
too
long.
The
fastest
way
to
make
a
topic
more
readable
is
to
write
in
shorter
sentences.
A
The
pipeline
includes
markdown
lint
and
veil,
documentation
tests,
markdown,
lint
checks
for
formatting
and
veil
checks
for
language
for
markdown
lit
all
the
issues
break
the
pipeline
and
you
have
to
go
fix
it.
However,
in
veil
there
are
three
levels
of
suggestion
and
only
errors
break
the
pipeline.
