WHY TEKAUTHOR
Better content starts with a better way to work.
Bring your authors, reviewers and document history together in a controlled online environment.
Provide authors with a familiar editing interface, paired with templates and rules that ensure compliant, consistent publications.
Maintain shared content as reusable components instead of updating the same information in multiple documents.
Coordinate roles, comments and tasks so contributors can review and update content in one place.
ONE CONNECTED WORKFLOW
From first draft to the next release.
tekAuthor is the content creation and management component of tekPublish. Teams can work in one environment and prepare the same structured content for each publishing channel.
Create content using templates and reusable fragments.
Track revisions and update content as requirements change.
Deliver content to tekReader, PDF and other required outputs.
Use comments, tasks and approvals with a dedicated team.
MADE FOR AUTHORING TEAMS
Clarity at every stage of a document.
CONTENT CONVERSION AND INTEGRATION
Start with content you have.
Move legacy documents into tekAuthor, or connect an existing XML source to tekReader through a content adapter.
LEGACY DOCUMENTS → TEKAUTHOR
Convert PDF, Word and other legacy content into structured content for tekAuthor. Your team can then maintain reusable components, collaborate on updates and publish to multiple channels.
Static PDF, Word documents or other legacy content.
Convert/integrate legacy documents to tekAuthor.
Use the underlying CCMS to manage all your documents.
Auto-publish to tekReader, PDF and other required outputs.
EXISTING XML → CONTENT ADAPTER
Have existing XML content? A content adapter can map your XML structure to the format required for tekReader. It allows you to retain your existing authoring environment.
DITA, S1000D, NISO STS, custom XML and other vocabularies
Develop content adapters or customise exsiting ones.
Ensure content integrity before you publish.
Auto-publish to tekReader, PDF and other required outputs.
* Adapter development is scoped around your XML structure, content variations and required outputs. We review a representative source file before recommending the integration approach.
