Stay organized with collections

Save and categorize content based on your preferences.\n\n- Home\n- Products\n- Style\n\nIn general, we write our documentation in an informal tone, so we

recommend using common two-word contractions such as you're, don't, and

there's.\n\n\n## Negation contractions\n\nIn particular, we recommend using negation contractions such as isn't, don't, and

can't. It's easy for a reader to miss the word not when they're scanning, whereas

it's harder to misread don't as do.\n\nIf you need to emphasize the negative, you can use text formatting such as is

<em>not</em>, which renders as "is not." But in most cases, you don't

need emphasis to make your point clear.\n\n\n## Contractions to avoid\n\nDon't make up nonstandard contractions such as guides're or browser's (where

's means is).\n\nDon't use three-word contractions such as mightn't've.\n
