style-guide-settings Style Guide - Settings Pages Settings Pages

Overview

Setting pages should focus solely on settings and configuring the device. Hardware is often a related topic, however these pages should not attempt to explain attaching hardware. Mention that hardware is required and link to the appropriate page(s).

Layout

Overview

This section should describe the group of settings and what they do for the device.

Settings

This section starts with an alphabetized table of settings, available values, and default values.

Available values should be listed with tick marks `` surrounding the value.

Value Type Example
Boolean true, false
List apple, banana, orange
Range 0-100

After the table each setting is described in brief detail. If the available options for a setting need additional explanation, a table should be used to describe each available option.

Details

If additional details are needed, this optional section can explain that. These would include prerequisites, links to hardware guides, etc.

Examples

This optional section can have examples of configurations needed where multiple settings are required to be set up for a specific use case.
