Yes, it's available from the main Wiki page under "File Release" (right side) or use the following link: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Special:File/lfl/styleguide-opensuse-online.pdf Mainly Rebecca maintains the style guide. If you have specific questions she knows more than I. > I'm thinking along the lines of which fonts/effects to use in which > circumstances, that sort of thing. Well, from my perspective, the style guide covers more of structural issues of the text than of layout or font effects (Rebecca, please correct me if I tell nonsense! ;). Normally an author doesn't have to care about layout issues -- the layout is covered by the DocBook XSL stylesheets. An author just uses the right element name for a specific purpose. For example, if you want to mark up an email adress, you use <email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email>. How it is rendered or displayed is the responsibility of the stylesheet(s). Does this answer your questions?
