What to notice in the examples

Good slash usage is compact without becoming ambiguous, avoids replacing ordinary prose with compressed symbols, and follows consistent spacing and style conventions.

  • Use slashes for recognized compact relationships.
  • Prefer words such as or when the sentence would otherwise be unclear.
  • Follow the document's rules for spaces around slashes and line breaks.

Turn an example into your own writing

Keep the underlying decision or pattern, then replace the subject, evidence, relationship, constraints, and tone with details that belong to your situation. If your final line still works after swapping only one noun, it may be too close to the example.
