What is advanced digital publishing?

It's not a magic formula, nor a promotional trick. For us, advanced digital publishing simply means using xml single source publishing technology, i.e. a highly effective and efficient workflow based on xml. Thanks to xml single source publishing you can avoid all repetitive and compiling tasks, and focus on the creative part of projects. It means that you can focus on contents and layout templates. 

What is xml single source publishing good for?

Xml single source publishing technology is not about one single book or project. You can take advantage of xml based technology when you publish a number of products in different formats and with the same structure. For instance, if you publish a series with the same layout template, both for print and ebooks, you can save a lot of time and money by creating each ebook with a single click and by importing each xml file into Indesign. You get a complete ebook and your layout for printing in seconds.

If you do a lot of xml and or xhtml editing, consider EMACS as your first choice xml editor.

EMACS is a very powerful text editor created by Richard Stallman several years ago. It was greatly appreciated by developers for its power and flexibility. In the last ten years, the advent of advanced IDEs (complex environments for developing programs) has obfuscated the fame of EMACS, and currently the number fo developers working on EMACS is not that huge.
