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.
This will be a "from the hip" opinion, so take it for what it is worth.
I try desperately not to become completely conventional. To me, in the
case of making multiple entries vs. an entry with subentries, I would
choose to make multiple entries. Clearly this is not a problem that
occurs all the time. There is something to be said for consistancy, but
there is also something to be said for an unconventional approach.
Saddle up and make the decision, if you were the user, would you look up
entry, entries, or both? I would make two separate entries in this
case...why...cause it is not going to hurt anything, but it will help. I
suppose there is also the dictionary phrase (See Also XXXX).
