Description and Table of Contents

Description

This guide and reference is designed for anyone who is responsible for writing software documentation for computer users. The focus throughout is on the writing - not the production - of software manuals, and does not assume knowledge of any specific computer. It covers topics such as types of manuals; writing the first draft; style; graphic elements; rewriting and editing; writing the appendices, glossary and index; testing the manual; and online documentation, as well as examples of bad writing and layout with suggested improvements.
