Subject:guidelines for styles in software manuals From:LaVonna Funkhouser <lffunkhouser -at- HALNET -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 15 Sep 1995 09:10:13 -0500
A coworker here is tasked with developing a style guide, and
one section that causes some difficulty is text formatting for
documenting software manuals.
I know we've discussed this before, so if you kept a copy of
the summary or a really good posting, could you forward it
to me?
I'm looking for stuff like text formats for entry text, file names,
and that sort of thing.
Thanks.
