Migrating to Structured Authoring on Your Way To XML

Structured authoring can provide many of the benefits of XML-based authoring and publishing, with lower start-up and maintenance costs. For many organizations, structured authoring provides an achievable migration target in a longer-term migration to XML. For other organizations, structured authoring alone may be the optimum target for maximizing publishing efficiency.
Structured authoring can provide similar benefits to XML-based authoring, with potentially lower costs, less migration pain, and lower maintenance costs. Also, structured authoring allows organizations to use conventional tools and retain authoring flexibility (the ability to apply manual formatting when necessary, for example) that many organizations still require.
Structured authoring may be a goal or a milestone on the way to XML. In either case, structured authoring can provide improved consistency, quality, and control, while “future-proofing” your technical publishing.
This session will introduce structured authoring and will look at how structured authoring can be implemented using several popular authoring and publishing tools.
