About This Item

 

Full Description

Scope

This standard provides minimum requirements on the structure and information content of user documentation. It addresses editorial and stylistic considerations only when they impact structure and content. It applies primarily to technical substance rather than to style. Users of this standard may want to develop a style manual for use within their own organizations to complement the guidance provided in the standard. They may also select an industry-recognized style manual such as the Chicago Manual of Style [2] 1 or the GPO Style Manual [3]. Adherence to the standard does not preclude the application of additional, more stringent requirements or standards, or the inclusion of additional topics or materials not required by this standard.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded. Minimum requirements for the structure and information content of user documentation are provided. They apply primarily to technical substance rather than to style. Editorial and stylistic considerations are addressed only when they impact structure and content. Only traditional documentation, either printed on paper or stored in some other medium in the format of a printed document and used in a manner analogous to the way a printed document is used, is addressed.
