Subject:Do you know of a really good style guide? From:Paul Bennett <prb -at- INTOUCH -dot- BC -dot- CA> Date:Thu, 12 Mar 1998 21:21:50 -0800
Hello!
I write for an engineering firm specializing in wireless
telecommunications, and would like to know what good style guides are
out there. Very soon I will be receiving (from various engineers) rough
drafts and will be compiling the drafts into a Software User's Guide.
Can you recommend a good style guide? Ideally, the closer I can get to
wireless telecommunications the better, but a good guide for any type of
high-tech writing would be most helpful.
Please email me directly with your suggestions. I will compile your
replies and post them to the list. Thanks for your input, and have a
great weekend!
