Documentation Conventions

Collation or Assembly Sheet

We need you to tell us how your document is to be assembled. We require a collation (a.k.a. assembly) sheet with each document submission. This document will supply a bill-of-materials and assembly order for the book. Collation sheets can be text, Microsoft Word or RTF format files.

File Naming Conventions

A good deal of time can be saved if we use the same file naming conventions. Our file-naming scheme looks like this:

<part number><document type code><sequence number>.<file type>

For example, if the part number is 12345, the document type is text body, the sequence number is 2 and the file is PostScript, the resulting file name will be 12345T2.PS. The sequence number is used only for text body document types to indicate the order in which the document is assembled. The front cover for the above part number would be 12345C1.PS.

The following are valid document type codes:

The notation "T1 – Tn" implies consecutive numbering. For example, the first text file in a book would be 12345T1.PS, the second 12345T2.PS, etc.

The following are valid file extensions:
