I can't really make much sense out of this but I guess I doesn't matter. In any case, by "style guide" I mean something saying "write options as monospaced", "write git commands without dash unless in links"... > As an experienced writer and editor, the documentation is something I > might hack long before I tackle the code.

Beyond any kind of style guide, is there a guide to the > documentation _system_ in use? It's asciidoc. Rather, asciidoc 7ish, current asciidoc is at 8.4.1.
