Will we be penalised for formatting issues arising from the conversion of webpage to PDF? #464

Closed JoeyToh closed 3 years ago

JoeyToh commented 3 years ago

Someone told me that prof mentioned issues arising from conversion of webpage to pdf (eg. words getting cut off) are not counted as documentation bugs and we won't be penalised for it. However, I can't seem to find that information anywhere on the CS2103T website, announcements or forum. In fact, the CS2103T website mentioned that "not well-formatted" is considered as a documentation bug. So can someone kindly confirm if the info is accurate?

There is no free pass like that :-) If the error is hindering the reader/user, it will be considered a bug. Some special consideration can be given for cases where the problem was caused by the tool chain used by the module, you tried your best to find a solution (e.g., posted in the forum) well in advance of the deadline, but no solution was found.

Ok, thanks prof!
