# Reading strategies
user docs: Add a bunch of "getting started" content.
2021-09-14 02:14:40 +02:00
In Zulip, streams determine who gets a message. Topics tell you what
the message is about. If you are not yet familiar with Zulip's topics,
we recommend first reading about [streams and
topics](/help/streams-and-topics).

## Topic by topic
help-docs: Use `<kbd>` HTML elements for references to keyboard keys. Updates references to keyboard keys in the help center docs to use `<kbd>` HTML elements, which also means updating them to be as the key would appear on a keyboard. Previously, uppercase and lowercase letters were used to indicate when/if the `Shift` key was being used, and even that was not consistent throughout the documentation. For CSS styling, adds a similar rule for `<kbd>` elements that is used in `/static/styles/app_components.css`. And updates the CSS class used in `/static/js/portico/help.js` for `adjust_mac_shortcuts` accordingly. Also, takes advantage of revising these pages for making small updates for current help center documentation practices.

Like your email inbox, for most users, Zulip works best if you read it
topic-by-topic.

recent-topics: Rename to "Recent conversations" in web-app and docs. Replaces instances of "recent topics" in the web-app and documentation to be "recent conversations". Renames both `recent-topics.md` files in the help center to be `recent-conversations.md` and updates/redirects links to new URL. Does not update instances of "recent topics" in frontend code comments and does not update the main overview changelog, for now. Does not change case study text where "recent topics" was referenced in a quote, but does change generic text references to be "recent conversations".
