ePublisher Designer.
The full authoring and design environment for the ePublisher pipeline. Stationery, target configuration, conditional content, variables, and cross-reference behavior are defined in Designer — and travel with the project file every other seat on the team publishes against.
Introducing ePublisher Designer.
Designer is where the WebWorks ePublisher publishing pipeline is defined. Style mappings, output targets, page templates, conditional content, variables, cross-references, and Reverb 2.0 Knowledge Base settings are authored in Designer's project Stationery. Once defined, the same Stationery drives every subsequent build — from the Designer seat that authored it, from Express seats, and from ePublisher AutoMap.
Why ePublisher Designer?
Stationery, target configuration, conditional content, variables, and cross-reference behavior are authored in Designer and travel with the project file. The pipeline is defined once; every subsequent build runs it.
A Designer seat is the seat that designs and ships the help. One per documentation team is the typical adoption pattern; additional team members publishing from existing Stationery use Express seats.
Layout and style properties are managed through a GUI aligned with CSS2 standards — selective inheritance or override of source template properties, with the project Stationery as the central source of truth.
Breadcrumbs, related topics, mini-TOCs, integrated PDF links, search behavior, and Reverb 2.0 Knowledge Base settings are configured in the same project Stationery the rest of the team publishes against.
Key features.
Tables can mirror the style of source documents or be custom-tailored per output target — the same source publishes to web, print, ePUB, and the rest of the format set.
Automatic scaling, resizing, and conversion to web-ready formats — JPEG, GIF, PNG — applied per output target as part of the build.
Full multilingual text encoding and locale support, including double-byte languages, applied uniformly across every output target the project ships.
Author the pipeline once.
Designer is the seat for the team member who designs and ships the help. Define the project Stationery once; every Express seat and every AutoMap-driven build runs against the same definition.
