Writing

TODO

We created two Vue-components to visualize if rules are required or recommended. Place the following tags behing the tilte of a guideline to indicate the importance:

• The tag <Required/> will be rendered into . Use this for guidelines that you should never skip and should be applicable to all situations;
• The tag <Recommended/> will be rendered into . Use this for strongly recommended guidelines.
