scope:

This standard covers the general style and format requirements for the preparation of standard technical manuals (TM) and changes thereto. This includes all technical documents assigned a TM identification number and controlled by a TM management information system, or subject to requisition from an inventory control point. In addition to "paper" delivery, this standard provides for standard generalized markup language (SGML) document type definition (DTD) useage (see appendixes B through E) required for electronic data delivery. This standard supplements the performance or detail specifications used for specific TM types and related publications, but does not deliver any technical data. Unless specified otherwise herein, the examples at the end of this standard are typical and may be adapted to fit the specific equipment or situation being covered. All appendixes are intended for compliance when applicable.
