Technical Writers Can Now Gain all of the High-Speed, High-Power Advantages of this New Advanced Level of ePublishing Technology

AUSTIN, TEXAS, APRIL 1, 2003 — Quadralay Corporation, the world’s leading provider of complete electronic publishing solutions, today announced the launch of the next evolution in the only true single-source, total ePublishing solution for Adobe FrameMaker users — WebWorks Publisher Professional 2003 for FrameMaker. This enhanced electronic publishing technology gives technical writers who use FrameMaker an all-new advanced level of power, intelligence, and ease of use. “In 1997, Quadralay changed the world of electronic publishing when we launched a time- and labor-saving technology that allows technical authors to both print and publish online from one source document,” says Jeff Stockett, CEO of Quadralay Corporation. “Now, we’ve taken this technology to the next level and given FrameMaker users more sophistication so they can create content, reuse it, and ePublish it — all without maintaining multiple documents or making compromises between print and online publishing. In fact, with the addition of many new features and enhancements, WebWorks Publisher 2003 has achieved the fulfillment of everything FrameMaker users have always hoped single-source ePublishing would become.”

WebWorks Publisher 2003 for FrameMaker immediately gives technical writers several advanced capabilities that allow them to meet today’s demands for continually updating electronic content and lowing operating costs. The time-, labor-, and cost-saving advantages of combining FrameMaker’s content-creation capabilities with WebWorks Publisher 2003 include:

• Automatically generated TOC and indexes based on paragraph styles and index markers, eliminating manual generation of FrameMaker TOC and indexes when using conditional text.
• Localized into English, French, German, and Japanese with ability to output content in over 20 languages that FrameMaker supports.
• Next-generation WebWorks Help, which delivers push-button-easy customization using the new Project Options GUI.
• Produces and validates Section 508 compliant accessibility content for all HTML/XML-based formats.
• Built-in support for easily creating and maintaining See Also, Related Topic, Popups, and dynamic drop-down headings in HTML and Help formats.
• Push-button deployment wizard, which allows authors to deploy online content to a shared directory, Web server, or WebDAV server.
• WebWorks Import Utility, a powerful add-on, seamlessly converts RoboHelp projects, HTML Help, and legacy HTML files into FrameMaker, freeing users from non-single-source tools.
• Creates online formats: dynamic and simple HTML, WebWorks Help, HTML Help, WinHelp, JavaHelp, Oracle Help, MS Reader, Palm Reader, XHTML, XML+CSS, and XML+XSL.

“At this advanced level of ePublishing power, technical writers will achieve several significant benefits, including gaining complete control over their content and its delivery, achieving significant cost savings, and spending more time writing,” says Stockett. “WebWorks Publisher 2003, in particular, addresses today’s critical business demand to achieve a high return on every investment by reducing costs on four fronts — increasing author efficiency, improving content reuse, reducing maintenance costs, and getting critical documentation to market faster.”

The launch of WebWorks Publisher 2003 for FrameMaker is an important step in Quadralay Corporation’s long-term commitment to bring powerful, timesaving, and easy-to-use ePublishing solutions to all technical writers and electronic content managers around the world. Its launch is accompanied by a new version of Quadralay’s WebWorks AutoMap 2003, an automated enterprise ePublishing solution. For more information, contact marketing@webworks.com.
