XML is also useful when it comes to automating time-consuming tasks and processes—like pagination—in publishing. If you’re new to XML, check out this article to learn what XML and DITA are, and the benefits of XML web authoring.

Emily Johnston, Typefi Business Development Director, recently sat down for a chat to discuss how Typefi, along with Componize CCMS and structured authoring in DITA, has revolutionised how Kaplan produces its content.

For decades, MathType EPS equations have been created using references to Type 1 fonts, also known as PostScript fonts. Adobe will disable support for authoring with Type 1 fonts by January 2023. Users will no longer have the ability to author content using Type 1 fonts after that time.
At Typefi, we’re continuously exploring ways to improve collaboration, minimise the impact of change, and help you achieve your goals—without the headaches. In order to achieve that, we’re improving our approach to project management to provide dedicated support and clearer communication.
