The Technical Publications Style Guide is, as its name suggests, a guide to writing technical publications. For example, it would be of interest to people who wish to propose amendments to the [[Software information: User Guide|RISC OS User Guide]]. The guide offers * suggestions for appropriate writing style * conventions for spelling, typography and terminology * an outline of the structure of a typical manual * guidelines for those producing text to be imported into technical publications * a brief reference guide to differences between British and North American English It should not be confused with the [[Software information: RISC OS Style Guide|RISC OS Style Guide]] (which describes the "look and feel" of RISC OS programs themselves).
