Creating DITA Content in Microsoft Word (Well, Almost): Interview With Michael Boses
Subject:Creating DITA Content in Microsoft Word (Well, Almost): Interview With Michael Boses From:Scott Abel <abelsp -at- netdirect -dot- net> To:TECHWR-L <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 16 Jan 2007 07:40:25 -0500
In this exclusive interview with TheContentWrangler.com, Michael
Boses, Chief Technology Officer for Invision Research Corporation,
introduces his firm's new suite of DITA authoring and productivity
tools designed to help technical communicators to author DITA content
naturally in Microsoft Word without struggling with an XML editing
environment.
To quote: "In.vision’s Xpress Author for Microsoft Word sits between
the XML schema rules and the authoring interface. It is an extensive
product that has been over five years in the making. However the
result is simple – all of the XML technical complexity is removed,
and the user simply creates content in Word with a normal authoring
experience whether the schema is DITA or a custom schema."
