TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I can't imaging looking up something in that beast without the paragraph
numbering. However, I can't imagine having to number the paragraphs in
the Configuration Guide I am writing now. It would be overkill, and
probably annoying. (Either that, or my imagination is shot.)
So, if I were to create an industry standard about numbering paragraphs
(or topics or whatever), it would be "do it where it makes sense and is
helpful, don't where it does not."
Whew. It is not easy being a standards maker. I need a coffee break. I
will leave it up to someone else to figure out an industry standard for
numbering my standards.
