I used a hybrid of OOo and online help styles for variety, especially if

To access this command...
Choose *Insert - Envelope - Envelope* tab
So who writes the online help? When I edited for Motorola's Freescale
Semiconductor, the software implementation engineers or other technical
editors there used the FrameMaker sources as input to Doxygen for the
CHM help files.
I'm not sure who writes the online help; someone else on this
list (GRS?) should be able to tell us.
I don't recall why we chose to use the > symbol in paths, instead
of a dash (hyphen) or a vertical bar; probably it was because
that was the preference of those people who expressed an opinion
at the time. At one stage the online help was so badly written
and inconsistent that I don't think anyone at OOoAuthors
seriously considered emulating any aspect of it. (To be fair, the
help has been vastly improved, despite its many continued
shortcomings.)
