Greetings brothers in God and Faith!
Today I've revived my work in apologetics, as you can see in my lastest post on my thread over here
So, I must say, I'd have to release a document, and I wish to do it formally. So I suggest we have some sort of protocol to write documents. To begin, obviously there can't be any orthographic mistakes.
I. Presentation Page
Should be done this way:
Requirements:
II. Introduction
It should resume what the document is about, and catching the attention of the reader, while telling as well why the document must be taken in mind, that is providing background information. Take an staunch position on the topic, and/or bring in interesting facts.
III. Content
Basically, just the content of the document. Should be done as concise and short as possible. The text must always be black, and the background page must always be white. The size of the text can be between 12 to 18. The recommended typesettings are Times New Roman and Arial.
IV. Conclusion
Write about what you think the reader should have learnt on the document. Refer to the Introduction. You have had to create a main idea for your document, refer to it by creating a final idea, calling the reader to take action.
V. Bibliography
If the document is based on someone else's work, then it's logical we must have a Bibliography. The way the Bibliography looks vastly depend on whether you get your information from a website, audiovisual content, graphic documents, social media or a book.
Book:
Author, Title in Italics, Edition number if not first. Place: Publisher, year of edition.
Website:
Author (optional), Title in Italics, [online/offline] [Consulted: date of consult, MM DD YYYY] available in: (URL)
Social media:
Author in Italics (Username, and real name if known), Date of post, without hours, Optionally, resumed content of post [Post from Facebok/Twitter...] available in: (URL)
Audiovisual Content:
Author, Title in Italics, [Type of support i.e. Video record, sound record, Power Point presentation]Place: Editor, Year of edition. Description of the content: Duration of content.
Graphic Documents (posters, signs)
Author, Title in Italics, [Type of support i.e. Poster, sign] Edition, Place. Editor, Year of Edition. Extension and measures of the document (optional).
So, what are your opinions? Do you like my idea? Please give any comments, and if we can upgrade this information, please don't hesitate to share!

Requirements:
- The size of the text is up to the choosing of the author, but it must look "nice" (we should define what does nice mean)
- In the example "|" means one or two spaces
- All of the presentation page must be aligned to the center
- The Motto must be smaller relative to the rest of the Presentation content, as you could observe in the example
- Optionally, the presentation text can be written on a Gothic letter typesetting (Lucida Black letter, Old English Text, Isabella), personally, I'll make the motto on Times New Roman, and the rest of the Presentation page in Isabella
