Red Hat Brand Standards


This guide is the official style guide for Red Hat training and certification content, and for all other technical documentation except as stated. Red Hat product documentation follows the Red Hat Supplementary Style Guide instead of this guide.


The Red Hat Technical Writing Style Guide includes guidance for everyday punctuation and grammar, common mistakes and how to avoid them, strategies for translation and global audiences, content design guidance, and a word usage dictionary.


This guide is a public and open source guide. It is reviewed and maintained primarily by Red Hat. Contributions from the wider community are always welcome.
