Documentation Standards

["Khizran Kaleem" <khizran -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hi All,

I have been working as a technical writer for a little more than a year now.
Over this period of time, I have gone through a range of writing styles,
help authoring tools and training materials. I think it is about time I
should be concentrating more on the "legal" aspect of the documents. What is
plagiarism and what is not? What is a trademark acknowledgement? What terms
to use or not to use in user manuals or help files? What does the year in
the copyright statement specify?......and a lot more. Can someone please
recommend any site or certain standards that I can refer to?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Khizran
