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.


You might want to check out an STC presentation
I gave a few years ago on creating a style guide:

Also, the ToC for the third-party generic version of
the Sun Editorial Style Guide, _Read Me First_, is
available online at
http://www.sun.com/books/catalog/sun_tech_pub.xml?section=Table%20of%20Contents
and might give you some useful ideas.
