Style
WTA uses the following style guidelines for all articles published on the website.
H1 Article Titles
Ex. Capitalize The First Letter of Each Word
unless it is a stop word like and, or, the, or 3 characters or less.
H2 Sub-titles
Ex. Capitalize the First Letter of Major Words
H3 Sub-headers in support of H2s
Ex. Capitalize the First Letter of Major Words
H4 Is used only when sub-headers are needed for H3s
Ex. Capitalize the first letter of the first word
None of the headers take terminal punctuation unless a question mark is needed. Sentences that have quotes around words that end a sentence encapsulate the punctuation, ex. “software.” or “software?”
Subtitles or headers with dashed words need to have both words capitalized, like Must-Have.
List Elements
All list items, ordered or unordered, do not receive terminal punctuation.
Links
Choose link text that is concise and precisely related to the content being linked. Do not link terminal punctuation. Use shorter anchor text for your link. Never link an entire sentence.
Alt Attributes
Each image should arrive with alt-attribute text that describes the image for those who cannot see the image. The Alt text uses sentence case.
Include alt text underneath the image inline within the article where you intend it to be positioned.
Sentence Structure & Punctuation
Commas: Use the serial comma (the comma preceding the “and” before the last element in a list) except in article titles.
Company and publication names: Capitalize the names of companies according to each company’s preference unless they begin a sentence, in which case they must be capitalized.
Em dashes: Do not leave a space on either side of an em dash. Use the en dash for enumerated date ranges.
Capitalization
The words “internet,” “net,” “web,” and “website” do not need to be capitalized when used in sentences. E-mail or email, as is e-commerce and eCommerce, with the appropriate capital letter, is acceptable.
When using title case, capitalize the first, last, and all other major words. Lowercase “and,” “but,” “for,” “or,” and “nor” unless they are emphasized in a particular heading.
