Guides (including bibliographic, style, and manuscript-preparation guides for online

A long list of style guides of various kinds. This is one section of a larger site called Voice of the Shuttle, a web site for humanities

among many others of interest to hypertext writers. This site is probably more useful for
academic rather than other professional purposes, but it is a quite useful site. --ejc 1/12/99
