5.4.7 Other text concerns

• References must occur at the end of a sentence, for more information see the texinfo manual. Ideally this should also be the final sentence of a paragraph, but this is not required. Any link in a doc section must be duplicated in the @morerefs section at the bottom.
• Introducing examples must be done with

  . (i.e., finish the previous sentence/paragraph)
  : (i.e., 'in this example:')
  , (i.e., 'may add foo with the blah construct,')
  

  The old “sentence runs directly into the example” method is not allowed any more.

• Abbrevs in caps, e.g., HTML, DVI, MIDI, etc.
• Colon usage
  1. To introduce lists
  2. When beginning a quote: “So, he said,...”.

     This usage is rarer. Americans often just use a comma.

  3. When adding a defining example at the end of a sentence.
• Non-ASCII characters which are in utf-8 should be directly used; this is, don’t say ‘Ba@ss{}tuba’ but ‘Baßtuba’. This ensures that all such characters appear in all output formats.
