Contractions in Splunk docs
Because Splunk documentation is informal in tone, you can use contractions in the present tense, such as "isn't", "don't", and "can't".
Don't use contractions for the past tense, such as "didn't".
If you can't rewrite a future-tense sentence into present tense, it's okay to use contractions, such as "won't". For more details about tenses, see Be active and present.
Don't put apostrophes in brand names, company names, or products to make them possessive. For more information, see Possessive names and terms in Splunk docs.
