Rules for a Successful Documentation

1. Respect the guidelines.
If they say 50-60 pages at a font of 12, write 51 pages at 1.5 line spacing with Courier 12.

2. Be original.
Only translate pieces of lesser known online articles.

3. Pick a complex theoretical subject.
Chances are none of the professors will have any ideas about that area, so whatever you say you'll look smart.

4. Be concise where needed.
Write no more than one-two short sentences about the concepts you don't understand.

5. Be explanatory where needed.
Write whole lengthy paragraphs about concepts like "A chain is colored in blue and yellow." Drive them into the reader's head in bold.

6. An image says more than a hundred words.
And it takes up more space as well.

7. Be inventive.
Find interesting methods to say the same things in slightly different words at random intervals. Apply them to the concepts at point 5.

8. Let your text breathe.
Press Enter whenever you feel like it. Too long paragraphs bore the reader. Normal length paragraphs don't take enough space.

9. Impress the reader.
Translate simple words by long elaborate phrases. Use "disambiguation", "malapropism" and "[Gale et al, 1992b]" frequently. They are guaranteed to get at least a small nod from the almost-asleep senior professor.

And finally..

10. Don't cling to your work.
If they take your heavy, painfully-written, expensively-covered documentation and throw it under the desk without a second look, don't fret. Be happy they didn't actually read the complete bull---- you wrote in there.
