ABSTRACT

A style guide is intended to assist the authors and editors of technical documents, reducing collaboration time by eliminating the need to combine differing formats into a single document. The guidelines given, typically along with a template, are intended to make the process of generating documents easier for all of those involved in the effort. Not all guidelines are appropriate for all situations; however, for the sake of consistency across all technical documents within an organization, the style guide should be followed to the extent possible.
