Software information: Technical Publications Style Guide

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 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 RISC OS Style Guide (which describes the “look and feel” of RISC OS programs themselves).
