New White Paper on Enhancing XML Composition Available from Vasont Systems

White paper explains how the Vasont Content Management System can control content to support composition engines for more effective publishing

Emigsville, PA (PRWEB) November 2, 2009 -- Vasont Systems, a leading provider of content management software and data services, today announced the availability of its new white paper entitled "Using Vasont to Enhance XML Composition." This paper discusses ways that the Vasont Content Management System can manipulate content to achieve the desired results from composition systems. The paper is available now for free download on Vasont Systems' website at http://www.vasont.com/vasont/Literature/WhitePaperLogin.asp.

When publishing content using XML, the composition tools typically automate the page layout function using style sheets to dictate the formatting of the pages and content. Desktop publishing operators then tweak the pages in the composition files to make final adjustments that the automation did not address appropriately. The style sheets used for formatting XML content (XSLT) require advanced technical knowledge to write and edit them, making this process potentially time-consuming and expensive.

"The Vasont Content Management System has the ability to extract content and manipulate it in various ways to support composition engines," said Richard Schiding, President of Vasont Systems. "This takes the burden of altering XML and composition files off of the desktop publishing operator and puts the power in the hands of an organization's Vasont System Administrator, eliminating high cost programming and technical resources."

Designed to improve productivity and time-to-market of products, Vasont makes it easy for organizations to manage their multilingual technical documentation and business information. The system's comprehensive single-source functionality stores content once, ensuring accuracy and increasing the efficiency of repurposing content to multiple media formats.
