XML is a standardised markup language commonly used by technical writers to create structured content. XML is also useful when it comes to automating time-consuming tasks and processes—like pagination—in publishing. If you’re new to XML, check out this article to learn what XML and DITA are, and the benefits of XML web authoring.
Typefi has partnered with Fonto & Syncro Soft to offer XML web authoring integrations as part of your automated publishing workflows. Now, authors can edit any DITA XML file directly from their Typefi Server interface.
Typefi Business Development Director, Emily Johnston, recently sat down for a chat to discuss how Typefi, along with Componize CCMS and structured authoring in DITA, has revolutionised how Kaplan produces its content. What was once a tedious workflow—taking content manually from Microsoft Word into InDesign—is now highly automated and streamlined.
Typefi users can now license the DeltaXML compare action to their Typefi workflows to output .INDD or PDF files with clear, visual highlights showing XML content additions and/or removals.
Typefi recently joined forces with Inera to present a free webinar showcasing a fully automated end-to-end article publishing workflow. Since we ran out of time to answer all questions from the audience, we’ve teamed up to answer them here!
