Hi, this isn't a LyX-specific question, but as a LyX user, and seeing how well LyX is orientated to specific document classes, I figured the people here would understand the question or be able to refer me to others places to ask ...
I am looking for some descriptions of how certain document types should look. As an example, I make a CV begin with some personal details, and then proceed to education and job history, but I don't *know* that this is how a CV *should* look. Or a report on migrating from one OS to another perhaps ought to have an introduction, some comparisons, critical issues, and a summary. But what else? Or even just a business letter; maybe that's the best example because the design is *so* rigid. "How to lay out a business letter" is surely all over the web, but a site listing "How to lay out an OS migration report", "How to lay out a novel" and "How to lay out a <thousand other things>" I have not managed to find. Templates for letters etc are *sort* of what I want, but I'm looking for *more* templates, of more *specific* types (different sorts of technical reports, e.g. aforementioned migration report), even better would be software-product *independent* descriptions (rather than e.g. LaTeX templates, LyX templates, Word templates). Googling for document/design/layout/template turns up a few templates or descriptions of *single* document types, but I'm really trying to avoid the collection and filtration myself by finding a existing large collection of such descriptions. Any pointers, or even pointers to better places to ask, would be much appreciated. Thanks! Alexis
