[sage-devel] Re: Conventions for writing documentation

Hey, From my understanding there is a lot of documentation put in before the current standards were set (for example, look at how many functions do not have any documentation). My personal belief is that it should always be ``self``, ``True``, and ``False`` when they are consider as code (ex.

Hi, Skimming over the reference manual, it seems that there is no clear standard regarding how to write some things. For instance, sometimes self is double-quoted (``self``), sometimes it isn't. Sometimes True and False are double-quoted, sometimes not. Sometimes the name of arguments (say, x)

The new ATLAS http://trac.sagemath.org/10508 has additional "generic" archdefs and these are used with SAGE_FAT_BINARY now. Also, SAGE_FAT_BINARY essentially means "pick reasonable defaults on non-museum hardware for the sage binary tarball". The only bug is that the variable has a strange nam
