XML Editor Customization
Authoring can mean many things, but it is often confused for creating documents, writing technical content, or something as simple as filling out a form. The role of authoring or ownership of the content can span across numerous departments within a company, not to mention across different countries – in different languages.
One day we asked ourselves, why not create a centralized hub where all end-users can author content from the convenience of one application? We have avoided the common pitfalls that undermine other authoring applications to create a fully customizable authoring workflow- complete with search and storage capabilities. From the convenience of one application, content is dynamically delivered to print, web, eBook and mobile.
Customizations to an authoring environment can help improve the efficiency of your system by making repetitive tasks easier to perform or by giving your authors more control over their content. Dakota offers configurations specifically designed for DITA, S1000D, SPL and other selected industry content standards. Alternatively, the XML editing tool can also be configured to use a proprietary DTD or schema. The editing user interface is highly customizable and capable of supporting functional as well as the look and feel requirements of any user community.
