Indentation is essentially the same regardless of whether the writing system is left-to-right (e.g. Latin and Cyrillic) or right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic) when considering line beginning and end. For example, indenting at the beginning of line means on the left for a left-to-right script and on the right for right-to-left script.
In definition lists, a ; at the beginning of the line indicates a term which is to be defined, and : at the beginning of the next line indicates the definition of the term. But in talk pages ; is seldom used.
Tinctures should not be capitalized unless the first word of a blazon, i.e. the field. Similarly charges should not be capitalized. While the College of Arms nowadays tends to capitalize tinctures, this is a recent trend, and should be avoided here. (Tinctures are in effect adjectives, which are not capitalised in standard English usage.)
Aside from sentence case in glossaries, the heading advice also applies to the term entries in description lists. If using template-structured glossaries, terms will automatically have link anchors, but will not otherwise. Citations for description-list content go in the term or definition element, as needed.
In English and most European languages where words are read left-to-right, text is usually aligned "flush left", [1] meaning that the text of a paragraph is aligned on the left-hand side with the right-hand side ragged. This is the default style of text alignment on the World Wide Web for left-to-right text. [2] Quotations are often indented ...
This first occurrence of the term should also usually be linked if it has its own article (or section, or glossary entry) corresponding exactly to the meaning when used in the present article. Italics may also be used where <dfn> tags or {{ dfn }} templates mark a term's first use, definition, introduction, or distinguished meaning on the page.
As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body. [9] Editors should provide a brief annotation when a link's relevance is not immediately apparent, when the meaning of the term may not be generally known, or when the term is ambiguous. For example:
Academic writing often features prose register that is conventionally characterized by "evidence...that the writer(s) have been persistent, open-minded and disciplined in the study"; that prioritizes "reason over emotion or sensual perception"; and that imagines a reader who is "coolly rational, reading for information, and intending to formulate a reasoned response."
