ePublishing

In the olden days, people would write, edit and layout text for the sole end purpose of outputting a hadcopy printed piece.












Today, a book is not even a book. A book is "content", and content may be published:


in e-mail
displayed on a web site
As a PDF
on an eReader
on a Smartphone
In a Searchable Database - build a book / custom publishing fits here
Or even a printed book!


If you have any intention of using your "content" in more than one display method, this should be evaluated AT THE VERY BEGINNING. By using Markup Languages your content can be composed once and directed to Multiple View Methods; saving time, money and opening up new options. You can later apply Digital Rights management to hinder document theft. Think from the beginning how your content may be used, and consider applying Markup Language as the layout process to make your future much easier.
