How your article should look
Punctuation and keystrokes
| " | Double quotes | All double quotes must be a single keystroke. Do not use two single quote keystrokes. |
| — | Em dash | A single character, no space on either side. (In MS Word, type the leading word followed by "--" and the trailing word.) |
| ... | Ellipses | Three keystrokes. If trailing a period or comma, the ellipses should have no space beforehand. If the ellipses follows a complete sentence, then a period must come before the ellipses. In general, if the ellipses follows an incomplete sentence, place a comma before the ellipses. |
| → | Tab | Do not use tabs, ever. |
Spacing
| Between sentences | One space |
| Between paragraphs | "Enter." Make sure you see "¶" between the paragraphs. Do not format the paragraph using "Spacing Before" or "Spacing After." |
Interviews
Interviewer dialogue is bold. Do not put "Vyuz" or your name at the beginning of the paragraph. Interviewee dialogue is regular (not bold). Do not put the interviewee's name at the beginning of the paragraph.
Headlines
Writers are encouraged to include headlines for their work. Keep in mind that Vyuz may use an alternate headline. Writers are also encouraged to include a secondary headline--or further description of the article. (See italicized secondary headline in image above.)
Subheaders
Subheaders may be used. They should be flush left, bold, underlined. Do not use all caps.
