Rather than completely reinvent the wheel, I'd be most grateful if someone
would be generous enough to share a style guide with techwr-l. Doesn't
even have to be the full thing; just the headings, and let the rest of us
figure out our own content.
Especially valuable would be one that includes specs for fonts, line pitch,
margins, spelling, grammar, pictures/illustrations -- a thoroughly complete
spec.
I'm pretty sure it'd save others a few hours of brainstorming, and I know
it'll save me a good chunk of time.
