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
