Announcement:
Greetings everyone, I will be hosting a free Webinar on January 31st that describes how to control help-specific features in WebWorks ePublisher Pro using a structured FrameMaker document based on a minimalist EDD. This Webinar is based in part on a successful presentation that I gave at the WebWorks RoundUp 2007 conference in Austin. As anyone who has used ePublisher knows, WebWorks is a great single-source authoring tool. However, implementing help-specific features (such as pop-ups, drop-downs, and custom pages) and controlling topic / mid-topic breaks requires a tremendous number of styles, or time spent post-processing the help system. What is needed is a way to select help-specific features within the FrameMaker source files independent of the formatting applied to the text. I specialize in developing minimalist EDDs for FrameMaker that format the text using context-based style rules. The EDD independently assigns paragraph and character style names to the text, solely for the benefit of WebWorks. The author can turn any section into a topic, mid-topic, drop-down, or pop-up simply by selecting an attribute value. The EDD automatically assigns the paragraph styles to the section heading and all of its descendents necessary to implement the desired help feature in the corresponding WebWorks ePublisher project. Mark your calendar for 11:00 am EST; 8:00 am PST; 4:00 pm London on January 31st if you would like to see a live demonstration of this help authoring technique in action. Free EDDs, templates, and sample projects will be available to those who attend.
