http://www.tlc.state.tx.us/legal/dm/ch1.htm

Extractions: PDF version This manual explains how legislative drafting is done by the staff of the Texas Legislative Council . Although it is primarily intended for use by the council staff for training and as a reference guide, other participants in the legislative process, including legislators and legislative staff members, may find it helpful in analyzing legislative documents. The reader of this manual should be aware of its shortcomings. A manual, by its nature, treats only the fundamental aspects of a subject, thus tending to make the complicated seem simple. The aspiring drafter should bear this in mind and should no more expect to become an expert drafter by studying this manual than a home handyman should expect to become a master carpenter by studying a do-it-yourself manual. While a few of the rules stated in this manual, such as the one requiring each bill to contain the constitutionally prescribed enacting clause, are absolute, most are more or less conditional. A new drafter gains through experience the ability to recognize circumstances justifying deviation from a general rule. A second inherent shortcoming of a drafting manual is that by focusing on the more technical aspects of drafting such as citation form, style, and English usage, a simplistic image of the drafter as scrivener is fostered. This narrow focus is at the expense of the more challenging side of legislative drafting: working with a legislator to develop from scratch a legally sound and workable legislative solution to a real life problem. It is outside the scope of a drafting manual to develop those general legal skills a lawyer is supposed to have developed in law school, and it is beyond the powers of the authors of this manual to tell the would-be drafter how to acquire the creativity and common sense this part of the task requires.

http://www.shlrc.mq.edu.au/style/eggert.htm

Extractions: Paul Eggert is general editor of the Academy Editions of Australian Literature series and director of the Australian Scholarly Editions Centre, School of English, at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra. Here he discusses the contributions that critical editions of literary works can make to a historical overview of style and usage. When full-scale critical editions of literary works are being prepared, computer and optical collations of each state of the text from the author's lifetime are carried out, word-by- word, comma-by-comma. The information so gathered perhaps 10 000 variants in punctuation and wording for a single work helps the editor to formulate a strategy for establishing the reading text and to give an account of the work's composition and production. Such has been the case with a number of titles in the Colonial Text Series and the more recent Academy Editions of Australian Literature series. The collations also importantly allow comparison of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Australian printing practice with that of American and British publishers. Certainly, I can confirm the shift in historical spellings from honor to honour in Australian English discussed in the December 1997 issue of Australian Style . But there are many other issues of comparative historical usage revealed by the collations. Less than a century after the War of Independence, the first American edition of
