Auftraggeber: Tax Department of the Canton of Lucerne
The Tax Department of the Canton of Lucerne (Dienststelle Steuern des Kanton Luzern) publishes the Luzerner Steuerbuch, a commentary on the tax legislation of the canton. The work appears in a five-volume printed edition with a total of around 2,000 pages in loose-leaf form and as a website, with annual updates.
Since 2016, it has been produced with a tailor-made application from our web toolkit. It comprises the following components:
-
Online editor for acquisition and editing of the content
-
Saving of different XML versions of the texts
-
Upload/management of assets (images and additional files for downloading from the website)
-
Generation of PDFs for print output (complete edition or update)
-
Generation of PDFs in an alternative layout for online publication
-
Preview of content in the layout of the website
-
Updating of individual texts on the website
-
Updating of the whole website
Besides implementing the editing system, we also handle the data migration, realization of the public website (http://steuerbuch.lu.ch), and hosting of the application on the client's computers.
With the made-to-measure product from le-tex, we are able to give our customers online access to the Luzerner Steuerbuch in optimum web quality. The printed edition and periodical loose-leaf supplements can now also be produced simultaneously as extremely high-quality PDF documents.
