Abstract :
Reports on an educational project to develop techniques to support authors from a global community with varying professional training, technical and scientific interests, and writing abilities as they create information for similarly diverse audiences within the context of a Website. The project had two results: it created templates, available in several file formats controlled by external style sheets, to produce consistent documents for both paper and online display; and it provided an online style guide for stylistic assistance. Both of these outcomes support an educational outreach effort on the part of the project´s sponsor
