TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
As someone who has written and edited technical documentation for several companies,
I have noticed each company has its own templates and style sheets, which tend to be
more or less modifiable, but remain the standards. Obviously, these templates and
style sheets began with somebody or some group designing them.
I would be interested in knowing what template and style sheet design classes
are available. Of even greater interest would be any evaluations any of you may have
who took a course which included template design (it may be part of a more general
course, of course).
Also, if there is anything out there (in hard copy or on the web) that documents how
templates and style sheets are related, that would be valuable.
Thanks!
