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.
Query to all you technical writers who love to give advice. (Probably
not to many of you so I hope someone responds. :)
If someone gave you a clean slate for creating documentation to support
IT, would you position the design of the documents toward totally online
documentation (WWW, HTML, SGML etc. and LAN access with ability to
print) or stick with a design that is conducive to hard copy and can be
converted to on-line? Why or why not?
What issues come to mind on both sides of the fence?
Thanks for the advice.
