<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't think it's that simple to produce separate
lists. As Mark said, formats are about structure and layout, and even about
media, while conventions are about 'rules'. Because conventions are about
'rules' they are not just about what happens 'inside' a given format but can
govern formats themselves; eg the way a business letter is laid out describes
its format, but that format follows a particular convention (date and addressee
at the top, no punctuation outside the body of the letter etc); you may choose
to display temperature and rainfall stats in a graphical format, but convention
says what kind of graph you should use. Moreover, there are conventions that go
across many formats, eg the idea of 'heading hierarchy'.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I still have students who
seem to mix up formats and conventions. Has anyone created a list that clearly
lists examples of formats separate to examples of
conventions? The document I have lists formats and conventions
for various publications under the joint heading without separating the
two.</FONT></DIV>
