| Comparison of Automated XML Typesetting Systems | Wed. October 12 11:00 | Applying the criteria configurability, typographic fine control, accessible PDF output, and quality assurance support, le-tex demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of automated and XML-compatible typesetting systems such as LaTeX (xmltex), XSL-FO, InDesign, and APP (3B2). | Martin Kraetke | German |
| EPUB3: Pimp Your Read | Wed. October 12 14:00 | The latest version of the EPUB standard includes technologies such as HTML5, JavaScript, and elements of CSS3. These technologies mean EPUB will be able to do a lot more in the future than simply replicate the print product. This talk shows how media queries, CSS animations, JavaScript, and audio and video data work in an EPUB environment. | Uwe Matrisch | German |
| Save Correction Costs with Web-based Editors | Thurs. October 13 10:30 | Customized web editors are a cost-effective way for authors to make their corrections directly in XML data. Authors do not have to learn XML in order to use these editors. The updated content may be automatically rendered into the final layout ‒ with change markup if desired. | Uwe Matrisch | German |
| Designing Word Templates for Publishing Workflows | Thurs. October 13 14:00 | Word document templates for publishing workflows must meet two key requirements: Their elements have to match all the publication’s content features, and they have to be easy to use for authors and editors. This talk shows the detailed requirements and how to generate templates efficiently, using flexible maintenance tools. | Andrea Köhler | German |
| Rendering Tables for Small Screens | Fri. October 14 11:00 | Tables frequently constitute a major obstacle for porting technical publications to small-screen devices (reflowable e-books, apps). le-tex demonstrates approaches such as interactive JavaScript widgets or panning with fixed headings in order to generate reader-friendly renderings for iPhone apps/e-books etc. | Manuela Pohle | German |
| epubcheck Profiles for Kindle, iBooks and Your E-books | Fri. October 14 14:00 | The free epubcheck tool is an industry standard for checking EPUB e-books. le-tex has extended epubcheck with a CSS parser and with distinct checking profiles. These may be used for testing compatibility with Kindle’s layout restrictions, with Apple fixed-layout / audio overlay EPUBs, or with EPUB3. In addition, there is a new mechanism for easily adding custom checks for your specific needs. | Gerrit Imsieke | English |
