Inspired by this topic I asked the question on how to read documentation [1] (I searched for it, it didn't seem to be there). I really could improve my documentation reading skills but don't know where to effectively search for it (I normally search on HN for quality content on technical topics).

- mattmanser 8y agoProblem is that everyone has their own style. I assume the [] in the jquety children case would mean optional parameter but won't in other documentation. It tends to depend on the language and the library authors, often you have to figure it out yourself.
- mettamage 8y agoHmm... interesting. I wonder how one would figure it out. Can I copy/paste it in the topic or do you want to post it as a reply in th thread?
