An early definition was restrictive. Later, as courses for a number of disciplines were designed, technical writing became more diversified. A distinction is made between technical reporting and technical writing in other forms. The relation of graphics to technical writing is explored. The author gives a number of examples of the expanding subject matter and forms of technical writing. %Z https://katalog.adlr.link/Record/ai-49-aHR0cDovL2R4LmRvaS5vcmcvMTAuMjE5MC9kOTE2LW0yaGwtaGRhZy11NHdo %U https://katalog.adlr.link/Record/ai-49-aHR0cDovL2R4LmRvaS5vcmcvMTAuMjE5MC9kOTE2LW0yaGwtaGRhZy11NHdo
