I recall "minimalism" in documentation being a theme during the 1990s, which I believe was influential in the design of documentation for Windows 95. I'd be interested in hearing more if anyone here knows about this. The origin text for this I believe was "The Nurnberg Funnel" by John M Carroll (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/nurnberg-funnel https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/nurnberg-funnel) -- but I haven't read it. I have read a book of essays following up on it, "Minimalism Beyond the Nurnberg Funnel" https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/minimalism-beyond-nurnberg-funnel https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/minimalism-beyond-nurnberg-fu..., which I found quite inspiring. Both of the examples used here are older than that, which is also intriguing.
