# Accessible content

Most of the principles that apply to good technical documentation also apply to accessible technical documentation:

* Use correct grammar and punctuation.
* Use active voice and present tense.
* Write clear, simple sentences.
* Be consistent.
* Avoid jargon, slang, and the like.
* Beware of dangling modifiers.
* Use the relative pronoun "that" where you might otherwise omit it.
* Use the simplest terminology.
* Use colours judiciously. Keep in mind that some colour-blind people cannot tell red from green.

  Make sure that your text colour contrasts sufficiently with your background colour.
