Books and Typography
A website is made up of pictures and text, and code to make the text appear as it should. We use a similar system for books and, more particularly, newspapers. Our layout files contain links to picture and text files which can be continually edited by photo editors and authors. During layout the latest versions are compiled – the system is dynamic and flexible.
As with HTML code, the text is tagged to identify plain text, quotes, paragraphs, captions, etc. and format them accordingly. If the tags are in XML format the text can be seamlessly incorporated into books, websites, newspapers and catalogs.
The formats can be assigned by the author or inserted by us.
Using these formats on a recent dictionary project we used the same centrally controlled content for the printed and web versions but designed them separately.
