Project Orion
The future of JATS/BITS/STS editorial tools
Typefi is leveraging 20+ years of experience developing Microsoft Word plug-ins and Word-to-XML solutions to build a replacement for Inera eXtyles, known as Project Orion. Our goal is to have this solution ready for launch in Q4 of 2025.

Recent updates
The team is hard at work on Project Orion! We’ll post updates here as new features are completed. Check out the videos below to see our progress and latest developments.
Document processing with tracked changes
DECEMBER 2024
Watch as Guy van der Kolk, Typefi Product Manager, demonstrates Project Orion’s Auto-Replace feature. It’s similar to the Auto-Redact feature in eXtyles, but with a twist! Auto-Replace sends the document to our cloud-based server, where we use XSLT to preserve tracked changes. Once Auto-Replace is complete, the document refreshes and you’ll see your redactions clearly marked.
Typefi & eXtyles case studies
Typefi has been an Inera partner since 2006. We share quite a few customers, so the Typefi team is well-versed in eXtyles workflows and the various editorial requirements that go along with them.
Check out these case studies to learn how Typefi has worked with eXtyles in the past.
American Petroleum Institute
- Categories: eXtyles, STS, XML
- Industry: Standards Publishing
American Petroleum Institute maintains more than 800 standards for petrochemical equipment, safe operating practices, and environmental protection. Typefi, along with structured authoring, enabled API to establish consistency in its publishing process and significantly reduce proofing time. The organisation is now producing record numbers of standards using Typefi.
Federation of Animal Science Societies
- Categories: eXtyles, JATS, Maths, Typefi Workgroup, Typefi Writer, XML
- Industry: Scientific and Scholarly Publishing
FASS publishes more than 14,000 pages of complex journals annually. Typefi replaced a labour-intensive, manual typecoding process and, along with Inera eXtyles, reduced journal composition time by more than half. Complex elements are now published automatically and everything is done in-house.
IGI Global
- Categories: CMS, eXtyles, Typefi API
- Industry: Education and Textbooks
IGI Global is a leading international academic publisher. The company produces both print books and content for its XML-powered online learning platform. Using Typefi along with Inera eXtyles and a CMS has enabled a massive production increase—before the new system was implemented, IGI Global produced just 120 books per year; that has now increased to more than 650 books annually.
