Content Strategy

Audience Analysis

| Dimension | Questions | |-----------|-----------| | Role | Developer, admin, CTO, end-user? | | Experience | Beginner, intermediate, expert? | | Context | Building, troubleshooting, evaluating? | | Reading goal | Learn, reference, debug, decide? |

Content Types

| Type | Purpose | Structure | |------|---------|-----------| | Concept | Explain what/why | Overview + details + diagrams | | Tutorial | Guided learning | Prerequisites + steps + outcome | | How-to | Task completion | Context + numbered steps + result | | Reference | Fact lookup | Alphabetical/categorical + examples | | Explanation | Deep understanding | Background + rationale + trade-offs |

Tone of Voice

Be concise, precise, direct (active voice), and consistent (one term per concept).

Technical Writing Patterns

| Pattern | Key Rules | |---------|-----------| | API docs | Path params, query params, request body, responses 200/4xx/5xx, each with example | | Tutorials | Title action-oriented, exact prerequisites, numbered steps with expected output, verification, cleanup | | Reference docs | Alphabetical/categorical, signature + parameters (type/required/default) + example + edge cases | | Conceptual docs | Definition + purpose, how it works, diagrams, practical implications |

Editorial Review: Six-Pass Process

| Pass | Focus | |------|-------| | 1. Structural | Logical flow, coherent outline, no missing sections | | 2. Accuracy | Claims verified, examples runnable, screenshots match UI | | 3. Clarity | Readable first pass, jargon explained, active voice | | 4. Consistency | Glossary terms, style guide caps, uniform code style | | 5. Grammar | Spelling, agreement, punctuation, descriptive link text | | 6. Accessibility | Alt text, meaningful link text, no ableist language |

Content Revision Levels

| Level | Scope | Time | Review | |-------|-------|------|--------| | Light | Typos, formatting, broken links, stale versions | Minutes/page | None | | Medium | Restructure sections, rewrite passages, update examples, add edge cases | Hours/doc | Peer | | Heavy | Full rewrite, change content type, merge/split, new audience | Days/doc | SME + editorial + stakeholder |

Translation Best Practices

Format Preservation

Code blocks (translate comments only), inline code (never), URLs (path only if localized), headings (preserve level), variables (preserve {braces} exactly).

Terminology

Build locale glossary before translation. Forbid ad-hoc translation of product names, APIs, CLI flags. Use translation memories (TMX). Flag ambiguous English terms.

Locale Adaptation

Dates (locale format), currency (symbol/separator), units (metric/imperial), time zones, re-capture screenshots, replace idioms.

Markdown Architecture

Document Structure

One H1 per file. Hierarchy: H1 > H2 > H3 > H4 (minimal). Alt text on every image.

Cross-References

| Type | Syntax | |------|--------| | Internal anchor | [text](#section-id) | | Same repo file | [text](../relative/path.md) | | External URL | [text](https://example.com) | | Versioned | [text](/v2/guide/install.md) |

Front Matter

Common fields: title, description (150-160 chars), weight/order, draft, tags, category, aliases.

Django-MarkdownX Integration

MARKDOWNX_UPLOAD_CONTENT_TYPES = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/svg+xml']
MARKDOWNX_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE = 5242880

    'markdown.extensions.extra', 'markdown.extensions.codehilite',
    'markdown.extensions.toc', 'markdown.extensions.tables',

# urls.py
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [path('markdownx/', include('markdownx.urls'))]

# models.py
from markdownx.models import MarkdownxField
class Article(models.Model):
    content = MarkdownxField()

# template
{% load markdownx %}
<form method="post">{{ form.as_p }}</form>
{{ form.media }}

Preview rendering via markdownx:update event for syntax highlighting post-processing.

HTML Conversion

import markdown
html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=[
    'extra', 'codehilite', 'toc', 'tables', 'fenced_code',
])

class CalloutPreprocessor(md.preprocessors.Preprocessor):
    pattern = re.compile(r'^!!!\s+(info|warning|danger|tip)\s+"(.*)"')
    def run(self, lines):
        result = []
        for line in lines:
            m = self.pattern.match(line)
            if m:
                result.append(f'<div class="callout callout-{m.group(1)}">')
                result.append(f'<p>{m.group(2)}</p></div>')
            else:
                result.append(line)
        return result
