- Agile development process- Automation top priority- New ideas enhancing the process beyond the capabilities envisioned - Extend automation to parts of the page building process such as…..
– Managing all text formatting and manipulation within the XSL reduced the need for application of formatting after the InDesign XML import
– Consolidating link handling within the context of the AppleScript import script minimized the user steps needed to create the document; imports, links, footnotes and the Notch Box could now invoked with only one step.
– Incorporation of two document types with the same template automated the process and made user processing easier.
