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.
Many of us use MMoS or the Sun Style Guide as a basis for writing
PC-related documents.
Can anyone suggest a similar style guide for mainframe computer
documentation?
I contacted IBM's Publications Center, and they claim to have no idea
what I'm talking about. IBM docs are inconsistent in their style, but
it's hard to believe that they don't have a style guide. The contact
person also didn't know what I meant by a Tech Pubs manager...
Yes, I can make style decisions and apply them consistently, but it
would save time to have a published guide as a basis. And I have yet to
find a single Web resource that provides what I want.
