I've used the "Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa511258.aspx. It is
mainly for design principles, but it includes rules for documenting
interface components. It's a downloadable PDF, and is almost 900 pages long.

Hi all, 

My company is working on web-based applications. In the past, we've used the
Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications as our style guide for
installed apps, but I'm looking for a source that includes more web app
information. For example, what are the usage rules for screen, tab, page,
link, log in, sign in, etc.

 

Is there a style guide out there that anybody would recommend? 

 

Thanks!
Amy
