    <title>Contributing to this document</title>

    <para>This document is written in
    <ulink url="http://docbook.org/">Docbook XML</ulink>. The source files
    for this document are located in the subdirectory
    <filename>doc/cookbook</filename> inside the Clutter source directory.</para>

    <para>To maintain some degree of consistency, try to stick to the
    following broad guidelines about how to write Docbook for this
    cookbook:</para>

    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para>If adding a new recipe, use the
        <filename>recipe-template.xml</filename> XML file as a basis.
        You can find it in the <filename>&lt;clutter_source&gt;/doc/cookbook/</filename>
        directory.</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>Try to indent your XML sensibly using 2 spaces per level
        (we're not too strict, but some indentation helps reading
        the source).</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>Stick to a column width of around 80 characters.</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>Use the &lt;filename&gt; element for file
        and directory names.</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>Use the &lt;property&gt; element for property names
        (e.g. GObject properties).</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>Use the &lt;type&gt; element for GObject class
        names.</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>Use the &lt;constant&gt; element for C defines.</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>Use the &lt;keycap&gt; element for keys, where
        you are referring to what's actually printed on the key, e.g.
        <keycap>Shift</keycap>. If you're referring to the key some
        other way (e.g. "the Control key"), don't use
        &lt;keycap&gt;.</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>Use the &lt;function&gt; element for functions;
        the style adopted is to give the function name followed by
        empty brackets, e.g. <function>clutter_actor_set_size()</function>.
        </para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>Use the &lt;note&gt; element for asides which might
        otherwise interrupt the flow of the recipe.</para>
      </listitem>
    </itemizedlist>
