4. Style guides

This isn't a hard and fast guide on writing good documentation (yet), but consider it a bunch of hints to help you along as you write.

• Be clear. Everyone needs to know what you're talking about.
• Use examples where possible. It lets everyone see what you're talking about.
• Organize. Don't jump between unrelated topics in the same section.

You can get many more hints from the LDP style guide located at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/LDP-Style-Guide.html.
