+[markdownlint](index.md#markdownlint). This lint test fails when any document has an issue
with Markdown formatting that may cause the page to render incorrectly within GitLab.
It will also fail when a document is using non-standard Markdown (which may render
correctly, but is not the current standard for GitLab documentation).
+#### Markdown rule `MD044/proper-names` (capitalization)
+
+A rule that could cause confusion is `MD044/proper-names`, as it might not be immediately
+clear what caused markdownlint to fail, or how to correct the failure. This rule
+checks a list of known words, listed in the `.markdownlint.json` file in each project,
+to verify that proper capitalization and backticks are used. Words in backticks will
+be ignored by markdownlint.
+
+In general, product names should follow the exact capitalization of the official names
+of the products, protocols, etc.
+
+Some examples that will fail if incorrect capitalization is used:
+
+- MinIO (needs capital `IO`)
+- NGINX (needs all capitals)
+- runit (needs lowercase `r`)
+
+Additionally, commands, parameters, values, filenames, etc. must be included in backticks.
+For example:
+
+- "Change the `needs` keyword in your `.gitlab.yml`..."
+ - `needs` is a parameter, and `.gitlab.yml` is a file, so both need backticks. Additionally,
+ `.gitlab.yml` will fail markdownlint without backticks as it does not have capital G or L.
+- "Run `git clone` to clone a Git repository..."
+ - `git clone` is a command, so it must be lowercase, while Git is the product, so
+ it must have a capital G.

led by the [GitLab UI WG](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/20623) we prefer the use of utility classes over adding new CSS. However, complex CSS can be addressed by adding component classes.
