Fix/standardized all references to menu items

Open dmitrizagidulin opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

What's the consensus on how to indicate menu items (let's say, the right-click menu) in Pillar? In LaTeX, there was a specific menu item tag. Throughout the book, I've been styling menu items the same as inline classes and methods, like ==Accept it==. I've also seen bold being used to denote menu items, like ""Accept it"", which I can also see arguments for.

Preferences?

I think we should use ==Item== everywhere. Nothing else.

Sounds good to me.

Consensus is to use the code font Pillar syntax for referencing menu items in the book. To do:

  1. Change bold markup for menu items, like ``""Accept it""to monospace,==Accept it==`.
  2. Fix the capitalization, globally. Our menu items are capitalized, that is, ==Do it== instead of ==do it==.
