    Use parentheses sparingly.

    Don’t use parentheses to set off an aside or comment in text. Use an em dash, instead.

    You must use parentheses when you mention an unfamiliar acronym for the first time in your documentation. For example, the Alphabet Biscuit Club (ABC).

    Parentheses are always acceptable when used inside code blocks.

    Don’t add parentheses to Headings.
