Hi Matt

 

I include information on styles of writing in the style manual I produced. These would include such things as:

- Jargon and terminology

- Using the active voice

- Tone

- Concrete vs. Abstract

- Complex sentences

 

This can be useful information depending on your audience i.e. not technical writers.

 

Cheers

 

Judith

Well, after this morning’s exhaustive debate on the need for TW tech savvy I’d like to get a similar volume of feedback on this – a style guide for user manuals. These are just the major headings. Anything glaringly not here? Comments more than welcome.
