Typography Rules · practical reference

Dutch

Use the selected model as evidence while retaining publication-specific quotation and numeric decisions.

Decide what the text is meant to follow

  • Which quote hierarchy does the house style require?
  • Are periods decimal/grouping characters or prose punctuation here?
  • Does an abbreviation belong with its following value?

Interpret the example in context

A punctuation-like separator in a number should not be replaced as though it ended a sentence.

Review quotes, abbreviations and numeric patterns in complete context. The current model’s supported expectations are visible below; they do not establish the intended factual value or provide a complete spelling/grammar review.

Inspect the current plugin model

These fields describe the built-in plugin defaults. Read Language & rules for the policy actually used in your inspection; a custom team profile can differ. The defaults are not a universal style guide and do not promise equal rule coverage. Expand a specific locale to compare its expectations.

Use the rule’s actual contextual evidence

Use the language evidence deliberately

  1. Check paragraph-language attributes, intended publication convention and actual active policy.
  2. Inspect representative text and read the resolved language and coverage in the panel.
  3. Review complete quotations, numeric source values and relevant line boundaries before any edit.
  4. Apply intended policy changes and inspect again. Retain intentional source differences and obtain competent language review where needed.
