Dear members,

Are you adopting new processes that emphasize collaborative writing and structured authoring? Structured authoring is based on a collection of rules that define how content can be used in a book or topic. A major benefit of Author-it’s approach to structured authoring is the requirement to understand XML tagging has been removed. The rules are created in a wizard-like structure builder and assigned to a template – each object based on the template inherits the structure. The content is created as normal in the Editor, without the need to include any XML tagging.

Join me for an hour-long webinar that talks about Structured Authoring in Author-it.

The workshop includes:
• Overview: Structured Authoring
• Before You Start: Plan the Conversion to Structured Authoring
• Enabling Structured Authoring and Creating Structured Rules
• Validation Reference Examples

Date: April 28 (Saturday)

Time: 11a.m.-12p.m. IST
