What is Style Guide?


A style guide is a set of standards used for writing and designing a document. The usage of style guide provides consistency in style and formatting of a document.

The standards created exclusively for developing particular document in an organization is called as “in-house style guide”. There are standards that are established universally for the purpose of creating a standard document. Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications (MSTP) published by Microsoft is one of the commonly followed styles in technical publications. Some style guides focus on images, and some mainly written for the creation of web pages.

Style guides are tools that help the technical writer to develop the documentation offering a professional touch.
