Abstract
A vehicle is defined as an element such as an indentation, heading, graph, table, or paragraph that is used by a technical writer to help a user find or learn about technical information concerning a product. The author lists and describes available vehicles and provides a rationale for using them. He also discusses vehicles for documentation in several contexts in which a technical writer uses them: style, orientation, constraints, and other types of writing.
