+description: Writing styles, markup, formatting, and other standards for GitLab Documentation.
+title: CLI Documentation Style Guide
+---
+
+This document defines style standards for documentation presented in GitLab products through the command line and builds on the
+general [Documentation Style Guide](_index.md).
+
+## Gitaly and Praefect
+
+Gitaly and Praefect define expectations for help text and command strings in the
+[Gitaly Help text style guide](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/-/blob/master/doc/help_text_style_guide.md).
+
+## GitLab CLI (`glab`)
+
+The documentation and CLI help text for `glab` are both rendered from the backend files for the commands.
+Each output uses a slightly different rendering engine.
+
+### Backticks
+
+To render backticks in displayed text, such as a command's `Long:` description, wrap the
+description text in a `heredoc`, like this, and use `%[1]s` instead of backticks:
+
+```go
+Long: heredoc.Docf(`Description text with %[1]sbackticks%[1]s`, "`"),
+```
+
+## Render `glab` documentation locally
+
+Most commands and sub-commands for the GitLab CLI are located in the [`internal/commands/` folder](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli/-/tree/main/internal/commands)
+of the `cli` project. The `docs/source/` folder contains the rendered HTML version of the documentation.
+To see the CLI version of the documentation, run the command you want to see, and append `--help` to the end,
+like this:
+
+```shell
+glab issue list --help
+```
+
+To regenerate the documentation from the root of the `cli` repository, run the command `make gen-docs`.
