Some questions to consider with respect to our typographical guidelines:
Bolding
Should we use bolding or some other markup for
- Software, that is not operated by the user: servers, backends, libraries, ...
- Non-KDE apps
- Distributions
Menuchoice
- Named sections of a window or dialog: Bolded (even when the name doesn't appear in the interface?)
- Icon buttons with no text: Use the actual icon inline. How should the "tool tip name" be marked up when it needs to be referred to?
- How to mark up modes?
Keycap
Only for actual key press actions. If we mention characters (rather then the key pressed to enter them) nor markup is appropriate (except perhaps quote marks)?
Other GUI elements
- Text field with title in the fiels itself, fx Amaroks Search playlist
- Named tools, when the name does not appear explicitely in the GUI, fx Amaroks Cover Manager or the Pop-Up Dropper
- Concepts: should the be capitalized and italicized (only the first time)?
- Only bold when referring to the actual GUI element, i.e. Playlist is the pane, playlist is a list created there
- Predefined tags (as in Amarok: Artist, Title, ...)
- Names of icon buttons
