do we have a style guide for this publication?
Yes, it's available from the main Wiki page under "File Release" (right side) or use the following link: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Special:File/lfl/styleguide-opens... Mainly Rebecca maintains the style guide. If you have specific questions she knows more than I.
I'm thinking along the lines of which fonts/effects to use in which circumstances, that sort of thing.
Well, from my perspective, the style guide covers more of structural issues of the text than of layout or font effects (Rebecca, please correct me if I tell nonsense! ;). Normally an author doesn't have to care about layout issues -- the layout is covered by the DocBook XSL stylesheets. An author just uses the right element name for a specific purpose. For example, if you want to mark up an email adress, you use <email>foo@example.com</email>. How it is rendered or displayed is the responsibility of the stylesheet(s). Does this answer your questions?
