Events • Webinar: Creating Custom Publishing Templates for WebHelp and PDF Output

presented by Steven Higgs

Wed, October 24, 2018 11 AM - Noon ET

An in-depth look at Oxygen's Publishing Templates feature. Oxygen XML Editor/Author includes some predefined publishing templates that can be selected when configuring a DITA to WebHelp or PDF transformation scenario, but you can also create your own custom templates to define numerous aspects of the layout and style of the output. This webinar is meant to be a tutorial for creating and customizing a publishing template. I will show you how to create a custom template for WebHelp Responsive output, some specific examples of customizing various aspects of the output, and then how to use and customize the same template for PDF output.
