Customize Stilus according to your style guide
While academic language norms are commonly accepted by the majority of the speakers, it is common that publishing houses, mass media or big companies want to make their texts conform to the standards established by their own manuals of style (as for Spanish, these standards do not always match the norms of the Academy). The Prisa Group or Unidad Editorial are examples of companies that have incorporated their own language standards to Stilus.
