How a rule is written

Under it

• The specification is written in English _guidelines/spec/6.1
• A rule names its subject and states what must hold _guidelines/spec/6.2
• A name is quoted where the reader must reach it, a predicate where the rule must keep binding _guidelines/spec/6.3
• A reason is no narrower than the rule it holds up _guidelines/spec/6.4
• A reason gives its grounds and nothing more _guidelines/spec/6.5
• No count in prose _guidelines/spec/6.6
• A restriction by list is chosen by which mistake would go unnoticed _guidelines/spec/6.7
• A general word carries its object _guidelines/spec/6.8
• No phrase or sentence is set in capitals _guidelines/spec/6.9
• What no rule requires is not done _guidelines/spec/6.10
