Page typography in the manuals is formatted by the CSS, so typographic conventions and

your own, for instance publication sizes from a drop-down menu. 
I can imagine this method as a model for choosing writing styles.

Here is an online typographic style guide that makes suggestions for type formatting
in the form of CSS syntax:
