The main intent of the web://workbook project is to be a curated resource for web developers with a focus on those new to computers and technology.
One of the definitions of curation according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary is as follows:
The act or process of selecting and bringing together people or groups for a specific purpose
Now if you replace people with content, that would be an accurate description of what curation means in the context of the web://workbook.
With that said, curation does not mean copying. While you can, and should, use quotations from works that explain a topic well, there are a couple of points to remember:
- Never copy large portions of text verbatim i.e. using exactly the same words; corresponding word for word.
- Always reference, and link to your sources.
- Always put the quoted text as a block quote. Block quotes in Markdown
In Markdown, which is the language we use to write our content, you write a quote as follows:
> The quoted text. This text can also span
> multiple lines.When written as above it will display as follows:
The quoted text. This text can also span multiple lines.
Even though the use of quotes is not forbidden, using quotes that are more than a single paragraph is also not acceptable. In these instances, it would be better to write a short synopsis and link to the full text.
