For @racket[category], the @racket[subcategory] argument should be in
titlecase (i.e., capitalize the first letter of each word) and a
phrase at the level of ``Programming Languages'' or ``Software
Engineering'' (as opposed to a category like ``Software'' or a
third-level name like ``Concurrent Programming'' or ``Processors''). A
@racket[third-level] phrase should be in titlecase. A
@racket[fourth-level] phrase, if any, should not be capitalized.
For @racket[terms], each general term should be in titlecase. Terms
are usually drawn from a fixed list, and they are usually optional.
For @racket[keywords], capitalize only the first letter of the first
word, separate phrases by commas, and do not include ``and'' before
the last one. Keywords should be noun phrases, not adjectives.}
