Hi,

We propose an informational quip about Qt Documentation Style:

https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/meta/quips/+/678715

Clear and consistent writing is essential for Qt documentation. This
document aims to define the writing style standards that ensure Qt
documentation is professional, accessible, and easy to understand for
users worldwide.

The current QUIP aims to collect and formalize some of the advice that
is currently spread across several wiki pages and ’shared wisdom’ among
technical writers.

As such, it is written agnostic to tooling. We will try to collect some more
technical advice for QDoc and API documentation in a follow-up QUIP-26.

Looking forward to the discussion 😊

Kai & Mats
