-This page presents design and layout guidelines for Angular documentation pages.  These guidelines should be followed by all guide page authors. Deviations must be approved by the documentation editor.
+This Style Guide is for anyone who contributes to the Angular documentation (this site). 
+These guidelines should be followed by all authors. 
+Deviations must be approved by a documentation editor.
 
-Most guide pages should have [accompanying sample code](#from-code-samples) with
+The guidelines described here serve two purposes: 
-[special markup](#source-code-markup) for the code snippets on the page.
-Code samples should adhere to the
-[style guide for Angular applications](guide/styleguide "Application Code Style Guide")
-because readers expect consistency.
 
-For clarity and precision, every guideline on _this_ page is illustrated with a working example,

+
+* To simplify the writing process for contributing authors. 
+This guide helps you make decisions about tone, voice, and style. 
+It also helps you find the right markup quickly.

+This guide is a *living document*; it changes over time. 
+We strive for consistency to the extent feasible, but you may find parts of our documentation that don't match this style guide. 
+When in doubt, **follow this guide rather than imitating existing documents.**
+

+
+## Scope of these guidelines
+
+We ask all contributing authors to adhere to three aspects of style: 
+
+
+* **Writing style:** Word usage, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. 
+Adherence to Angular's writing guidelines ensures a consistent "voice", helps ensure accuracy of the information, and facilitates use world-wide, by audiences with different backgrounds. 
+
+
+* **Markup style:** How to include images, tables, alert boxes, and code snippets. 
+Angular docs are written in Markdown, with custom extensions for this site. Correct markup ensures a consistent look-and-feel, and is essential for the doc to build and function correctly. 
+
+
+* **Angular coding style:** Coding style for example apps and code snippets. 
+Code examples are encouraged for demonstrating how to apply the concepts and features discussed. 
+Angular has a custom framework that enables authors to include code snippets directly from example apps  that are automatically tested as part of doc builds. 
+To contribute example code, you must understand Angular itself and the custom framework for Angular doc examples. 
+
+For each aspect of style, the following table explains where to find the primary guidelines and what this Angular Documentation Style Guide offers. 
+
+
