Headings

Hi, you also need to not use subheadings in the task description - they are reserved for Language examples exclusively.

You can get that kind of effect using:

Not a heading

;What is typed for the above type of bold subheading starts with a semicolon

All the best :-)

Tab Size

Although I'd be delighted to be proved wrong, there doesn't appear to be a way to change the tab size on this site which is fixed at 8.

If you want to use anything else (personally I prefer 4), then use spaces rather than tabs. --PureFox (talk) 10:09, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Task Name

Two things:

1 In general, Rosettacode task names should only have the first word in a title capitalized. (Excluding proper nouns) It isn't a hard rule, and has been broken before, but is the preferred style.
2 Is there any particular reason this is named Parallel resistor calculator? Seems like it is doing both parallel and series resistances. I would propose to rename it to "Resistance equivalence calculator" to frontload what the primary point is: "Resistance", more accurately describe what it does, and bring it in line with site naming conventions. --Thundergnat (talk) 12:23, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
