Fr/FlightGear wiki:Manual of Style: Difference between revisions

La casse des phrases, au lieu de la casse des titres, est utilisée dans les titres d'articles wiki et les en-têtes de section ; voir [[Fr/FlightGear wiki:Manual of Style#Titres des articles|les titres des articles]] et les [[Fr/FlightGear wiki:Manual of Style#Titres de section|titres des sections]] ci-dessus. Pour la capitalisation des éléments de liste, voir Listes à puces et numérotées. D'autres points concernant la capitalisation sont résumés ci-dessous.

 

Use italics, not capitals, to denote emphasis.

* '''Months, days of the week, and holidays''' start with a capital letter ({{xt|June}}, {{xt|Monday}}).

* When used generally, the words '''<nowiki/>''sun'', ''earth'', and ''moon''<nowiki/>''' do not take capitals ({{xt|The sun was peeking over the mountain top}}), except when the term names a specific astronomical body ({{xt|The Moon orbits the Earth}}).

Do not capitalize '''directions''' such as ''north'', nor their related forms ({{xt|Follow the northern road}}), except where they are parts of proper names (such as {{xt|South Pole}}).

Capitalize '''names of regions''' if they have attained proper-name status, including informal conventional names ({{xt|Southern California}} or {{xt|the Western Desert}}). Do not capitalize descriptive names for regions that have not attained the status of proper names, such as {{xt|southern Poland}}.

(Composite directions may or may not be hyphenated, depending on the style adopted in the article. {{xt|Southeast Asia}} and {{xt|northwest}} are more common in American English; but {{xt|South-East Asia}} and {{xt|north-west}} in British English. In cases such as {{xt|north–south dialogue}} and {{xt|east–west orientation}} an en dash is used.)

* When an abbreviation is to be used in an article, give the expression in full at first, followed immediately by the abbreviation in parentheses (round brackets). In the rest of the article the abbreviation can then be used by itself:

::{{xt|The instrument landing system (ILS) is a ground-based instrument approach system}}, at the first mention of the instrument landing system; and

::{{xt|There are three categories of ILS}}, at a subsequent mention.

* Do not apply initial capitals in a full version simply because capitals are used in the abbreviation.

The ampersand (&) substitutes for the word ''and'' (it is a form of Latin ''et''). In normal text, ''and'' should be used instead: {{xt|version 1&nbsp;and&nbsp;2}}, not {{!xt|version 1&nbsp;&&nbsp;2}}. Ampersands may be used with consistency and discretion in tables, infoboxes, and similar contexts where space is limited.
