This page is included in an attempt to provide some standard guidelines for the naming and formatting used in the development of Geronimo's documentation. This will help us all to maintain a consistent look and feel throughout the entire documentation and Geronimo spaces.
...
This document is organized in the following sections:
...
...
When making a reference to any document in the wiki you should point to this autoexported HTML content, avoid pointing directly to Confluence content. If the page you are browsing does not have the Geronimo banner on top then you are not looking at the HTML version.
Good: http://cwiki.apache.org/geronimo/geronimo-cwiki-documentation-architecture.html
Bad: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/geronimo/Tips+for+writing+and+formatting+documentation
Tip:
One way to get back to the HTML version of the page you just edited is to navigate to that particular page from http://cwiki.apache.org/geronimo .
Refer to Geronimo cwiki documentation architecture for further details.
...
Use {scrollbar}
Every time you create a new page add at the top the {scrollbar} macro unless that page is (and will remain that way) the only child page of it's parent.

Versions
For versions use:

Ultimately v1.0 or v1.1, the lower case "v" always precede the number.
...
For reference to file extensions use:
...
...
...
.zip
.tar
.gz
.gzip
.jar
.war
Make sure to include the "."

...
For JavaScript samples use:
