XML Professional Publisher in Action
XPP automates composition of large volumes of data and is used by companies that produce printed documents from an information repository of structured data. An XPP system in action can turn
XML and other encoded data into fully formatted documents complete with complex tables, math
equations, footnotes, tables of contents and indexes. In addition to printed pages, XPP will also
produce Acrobat PDF documents or web pages as part of its automated publishing capabilities.
Tasks that may take several hours on a desktop system can be completed automatically in minutes
with XPP. Typical users include software developers that produce large volumes of technical
documentation, aerospace and other manufacturers that issue product and service manuals, legal
publishers, and professional publishers who produce scientific or medical journals, text books,
catalogs, and looseleaf publications.
XPP functions as a key component of some of the most
sophisticated and high-production publishing systems in the
world.
The XPP user interface offers access to a wide variety of style definitions. |
