Also research how writers and publishers in your industry style things and
create a house style guide that adds to but does not replace your chosen
style guide. It is rare that an organization will use a style guide and not
have its own house style guide that supplements the main guide.
No general guide will have industry-specific terms, which is why you'll need
to read the literature in the industry you're in and choose the style you
feel will be most effective for your own audience.
