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:
“Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man’s image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“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.”
—Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)
