aka Foam Publishing™ in-house style guidelines

suggestions in consideration of the designer's convenience

• cleaned up as much as possible (whitespace, etc.)
• rtf format preserving local formatting only (bold, italics, etc.)
  • NOTE: ill have to check up on this, but i think either .txt or .doc are preferable, as indesign (if we are using it) does style, footnote and reference translation from .doc –nik
• and optionally, basic style indications (headings, subheadings, body text)

following are some key texts which constitute signposts for any judgements in matters of style, and rationales for editorial dictatorship.
