This guide will may make reference and where appropriate cite the various sections from these guides. s
In addition, portions of the existing Eclipse_Doc_Style_Guide guidelines have been used and extended.

- Authoring Resources
- Style
- Publishing
Those wishing to help contribute, are encouraged to do so.
