Editorial guide – The White Knight Labs
Version: 1.0 · Status: 2026-09-18 · Scope: all published and internal English content · Normative basis: Microsoft Writing Style Guide; Merriam-Webster
This guide sets out how The White Knight Labs writes in English: on websites, in reports, audit documentation, manuals, user interfaces and error messages.
It is not a translated German guide. Where an English convention differs from the German one — the serial comma, the em dash, the decimal point — the English rule applies here.

Still to be written
The German and Slovenian guides carry about 95 detail pages each: punctuation, numbers, capitalization, word choice, accessibility, procedures. For English those pages do not exist yet. Until they do, follow the ten rules above and the Microsoft Writing Style Guide.
