The thing is I am working on a little publishing project of my own and am finding interesting variations with text info from guides local and O.S.

The following is just ONE area I am finding variations in.
Aus. Name> Stars> Height >Grade
U.K. Name> Stars> Grade> Height
Tha. Name> Grade> Gear> Height> Stars
Can. Name> Grade> Stars

A least the Name is sorted. The reason for my equiery is to find out what is needed in the framework of a route description and in what order of importance should they be placed? A template could provide such structure. What are we looking for when one pick up a guide book? Apart from modern publishing techneques, for me it's the specifics, not irregular data and flowering ramblings . So, what category of publication do guide books belong in? Street directories, technical documents, academic thesis and even Mills and Boone, all fall within specific genres of writing with publication guidelines.
