About Field Guide

Field Guide sets a document like a museum catalogue or a naturalist's field guide. The prose reads like a good printed book. Every label, number, and caption is typewritten, sections carry catalogue numbers, and figures sit on their own ground like printed plates.

The layout

A ruled margin rail on the left carries the section numbers and plate captions. Figures are centred and set wider than the text.
