Editing Rules for Knowledge Base Entries

Language

All entries must be written in English using clear, precise language. Avoid unnecessary decoration or stylistic embellishment.

Headings Structure

Use consistent Markdown heading levels:

  • ## H2 for Page Title
  • #### H4 for Main Sections
  • ###### H6 for Subsections (if needed)

Each main section must be separated by a visual divider line (---).

Capitalization

  • In section headings (H4, H6), capitalize nouns and proper names:
    Example: #### General Description, #### Care Plan
  • In body text, use standard English capitalization:
    Example: This plant grows vigorously in partial shade.

Exceptions (always capitalized in body text):

  • Fixed field names such as Plant No., Quarter, Sixteenth
  • Species names follow botanical formatting (see below).

Botanical Naming (Latin Species Names)

When writing Latin species names, follow standard botanical convention:

  • Genus name: Capitalized
  • Species name: Lowercase
  • Both words italicized in body text and references

Example:
Mangifera indica
Piper auritum

In page titles (H2), italic formatting is not supported.
Instead, write the Latin name in parentheses with correct capitalization:
Example title:
## Mango (Mangifera indica)

Section Separators

Insert a horizontal line (---) between each main section for better readability.
