scope:

This standard covers the general style and format requirements for the preparation of standard Technical Manuals (TM) (see 3.2.36 and 3.2.38) and changes to standard TMs. This includes all technical documents which are assigned a TM identification number and are to be controlled by a TM management information system or are subject to requisition from an inventory control point. In addition to "paper" delivery, this standard provides for electronic delivery of data through use of the Document Type Definitions (DTD) contained in Appendixes B through E. This general style and format standard supplements the various detail specifications for specific types of TMs and related publications and does not alone deliver any technical data. Examples at the rear of this standard are typical and may be adapted to fit the specific equipment or situation being covered.
