Technical Publishing Formats
Single sourcing allows the creation of documents in various technical formats from the same content. For example, a company might use the same content in online help, a printed document PDF, a web page and in an Interactive Voice Response system. With a single source solution, the company only has to update the one source file for the content and regenerate the four outputs.
Where the differences are purely those of formatting, this is a simple process to implement.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or publishing:
“When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.”
—J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)
“While you continue to grow fatter and richer publishing your nauseating confectionery, I shall become a mole, digging here, rooting there, stirring up the whole rotten mess where life is hard, raw and ugly.”
