User-replaced values

Ensure that user-replaced values have the following characteristics:

  • Surrounded by angle brackets (< >)

  • Separated by underscores (_) for multi-word values

  • Lowercase, unless the rest of the related text is uppercase or another capitalization scheme

  • Italicized

  • If the user-replaced value is referencing a value in code or in a command that is normally monospace, also use monospace for the user-replaced value
