  @item
+ A question asked in the minibuffer with @code{y-or-n-p} or
+ @code{yes-or-no-p} should start with a capital letter and end with
+ @samp{? }.
+ 
+ @item
+ When you mention a default value in a minibuffer prompt,
+ put it and the word @samp{default} inside parentheses.
+ It should look like this:
+ 
+ @example
+ Enter the answer: (default 42)
+ @end example
+ 
+ @item
  In @code{interactive}, if you use a Lisp expression to produce a list
  of arguments, don't try to provide the ``correct'' default values for
  region or position arguments.  Instead, provide @code{nil} for those
