References in Text. Identify documents referenced in UFC text by
publication number only. Document titles normally will not be cited in the text; locate full
titles of references according to paragraph 2-1.3.2. When references are issued without
number identifiers, include their titles in the text in italics according to the examples in
this UFC. Do not use UFC to republish material available from another source.
Information extracted from other publications for inclusion in a UFC must not exceed
one page in length. Present such extracted material in quotation marks, indented one-
half inch from both right and left margins, and provide appropriate references.
2-2.5
Footnotes. Use a footnote to give credit for a legal citation, copyrighted, or
quoted material. Identify the footnote with an Arabic superscript number or asterisk.
Number footnotes consecutively throughout the UFC. If the UFC is divided into
chapters, number the first footnote in each chapter as "1." Then number the other
footnotes consecutively throughout the chapter. Place footnotes at the bottom of the
same page containing the referenced text, separating them from the main text by a
hairline rule.
2-2.6
Bullet Styles. In addition to the bullet style shown in Figures 2-2 and 2-3,
bullets can be alphabetical or numerical. Choose a bullet style that is appropriate to the
context of the material being presented; e.g., use alphabetical or numerical bullets when
listing steps that must be followed in order.
2-3
WRITING STYLE. Write in a direct, active voice with simple, concise
sentences as much as possible. Use language appropriate for the user with the
experience level required by the subject matter. Avoid ambiguous, indefinite terms such
as "too short" or "relatively simple." Quantify whenever possible. Define what applies
before using "applicable." Do not use "and/or"; do not use the virgule (/) to substitute for
"and" or "or." Do not use "etc."; use "e.g.," "for instance," or "such as."
