Re: Style Question

[Jean Weber <jean -at- wrevenge -dot- com -dot- au>]

Before the term "style sheet" became used for "cascading style sheet" 
(CSS), it was used for a short (often one-page) document that supplements 
the style manual (if there is one). You might also use one to summarize 
vital information for your own reference or to give to an editor. Record on 
a style sheet any decisions made for a particular product or publication.

guides  http://www.wrevenge.com.au/eyrie/tenews4.htm#feature4

difference between style sheets and style guides? I am under the 
understanding that "style sheet" is referring to a template-type document 
while guides give specifications for content (ie. Chicago, MLA, etc.). Any 
samples of style sheets would be appreciated.<<
