I don't know, but Sophie may know. We never really used it for the user guides, but I believe it was used for writing Help. > * What is/was it called? > * Where can it be obtained from? Here is one I remember. https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide > > I am not referring to the style manual within the documentation template > that Jean constructed/maintains. There is also a short (and somewhat out of date) writing style guide for LO user guides. It is Chapter 5 in the Contributors Guide. See here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Contributors_Guide In Docs, we mainly referred to the relevant sections of _Read Me First! A Style Guide for the Computer Industry_ by Sun Technical Publications. I realise that isn't what you're looking for, but I mention for completeness regarding semi-official manuals of style. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
