In addition, paragraph styles and character styles should be efficient to use for the author when writing the document. The layout process should be automated as much as possible.

Setting up templates and style sheets that are efficient to use when creating and updating user assistance requires a lot of experience in technical writing. The rules presented in this book are the essence of this experience. All chapters provide various examples that you can use for inspiration and as starting points for your own designs.

Download or read book A Manual for Creating Atheists written by Peter Boghossian and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith—and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, A Manual for Creating Atheists offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith—but for talking them out of it. Peter Boghossian draws on the tools he has developed and used for more than 20 years as a philosopher and educator to teach how to engage the faithful in conversations that will help them value reason and rationality, cast doubt on their religious beliefs, mistrust their faith, abandon superstition and irrationality, and ultimately embrace reason.
Download or read book Designing Templates and Formatting Documents written by Marc Achtelig and published by Indoition Publishing E.K.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aesthetics isn't the only thing that you should be striving for when you design a template. When creating technical documentation, such as user manuals and online help systems, usability, readability, and simplicity are just as crucial. The design must please the eye and at the same time communicate the content clearly. Paragraph styles and character styles should be efficient to use when writing the document. The layout process should be automated as much as possible. As user assistance documents are frequently updated, an automated layout process is much more important here than in other kinds of books. For example, when you insert a new paragraph into a document, this shouldn't result in you having to manually tweak all subsequent page breaks-not to mention page numbers, cross-references, the table of contents, and the index. Setting up templates and style sheets that are efficient to use when creating and updating a document requires a lot of experience in technical writing. The rules presented in this book are the essence of this experience. All chapters provide various examples that you can use for inspiration and as starting points for your own designs. Topics covered: Layout basics; Setting the type area; Choosing fonts and spacing; Avoiding manual formatting; Creating semantic styles; Organizing styles hierarchically; Recommended screen layouts; Recommended page layouts; Recommended table designs; Recommended paragraph styles; Recommended character styles. Audience: technical writers, developers, marketing professionals, product managers, designers.

Download or read book bookdown written by Yihui Xie and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown presents a much easier way to write books and technical publications than traditional tools such as LaTeX and Word. The bookdown package inherits the simplicity of syntax and flexibility for data analysis from R Markdown, and extends R Markdown for technical writing, so that you can make better use of document elements such as figures, tables, equations, theorems, citations, and references. Similar to LaTeX, you can number and cross-reference these elements with bookdown. Your document can even include live examples so readers can interact with them while reading the book. The book can be rendered to multiple output formats, including LaTeX/PDF, HTML, EPUB, and Word, thus making it easy to put your documents online. The style and theme of these output formats can be customized. We used books and R primarily for examples in this book, but bookdown is not only for books or R. Most features introduced in this book also apply to other types of publications: journal papers, reports, dissertations, course handouts, study notes, and even novels. You do not have to use R, either. Other choices of computing languages include Python, C, C++, SQL, Bash, Stan, JavaScript, and so on, although R is best supported. You can also leave out computing, for example, to write a fiction. This book itself is an example of publishing with bookdown and R Markdown, and its source is fully available on GitHub.
