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.
And, in my opinion, they should be used cautiously if at all
when the specific order or hierarchy of the information is
of great importance. To get that sort of thing across, be
explicit -- one way is to use the graphical set-up of your
bullet lists, but instead of bullets, use numbers. Another
way is to explain what you're up to in the text above the
bullet list.
