#2: Initial revision
When writing a technical article, use the command voice in present tense and do not use ambiguous words like "very clean". > Use a plain non-serif font for your article. Anything else looks non-professional, distracts from the text, and may cause readers to stop reading. Do not use "you should", obviously the author of an article **believes** readers should follow their advice, so these words are superfluous. If you say anything in the article that is not your opinion, **then** you add something like "you must". e.g. "You must get the temperature of the sugar over 250F, and you must not exceed 270F." > Is it correct [writing it in future tense]? Grammatically it may be correct, it would be more clear to say, in present tense, > An example follows.
