Hi there, erkle! I'm so sorry that I haven't answered you sooner. I haven't been here in a few weeks. I was sick, and then very, very busy.
I'll direct you to this page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/Writing-Beginners
It's a really good start with information on the format h2g2 wants for their Guide Entries, and has a lot of links that you should find helpful.
I wouldn't worry too much about the layout. You can always just do it in plain text for now, and worry about the GuideML later. 
I hope this helped. If you have more questions, just ask.
