Style guide of the editorial center of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa

The Style Book is not intended to be read from cover to cover, but rather consulted whenever necessary to resolve specific doubts. This is made possible by the PDF format, which allows for searching an exact word or a particular topic included in the index of this edition. To do this, simply right-click, select the find option, and enter the term to search for in the search box that appears on the screen. This operation will lead the user to the desired page.

However, many doubts will not have answers in the following pages. In the process of constructing this Style Book, we identified the hesitations, errors, and inaccuracies we most frequently encounter, and then organized a selected summary of clarifications. This publication does not aim to be an exhaustive document, nor does it intend to replace the essential writing support tools: handbooks, dictionaries, grammars, among others. It is a resource that systematizes rules scattered across numerous editions on the norms and conventions of the Portuguese language, as well as some procedures consolidated by the practice of the Editorial Center, based on the most common difficulties faced by writers.
