The Accessibility Report verifies that your output complies with Section 508.
Content that conforms to the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG), Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1998, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Formatting applied at the character level. Character styles specify characteristics like font size and style for an individual character or a group of characters. For example, these characters use an italic font style. WebWorks ePublisher Pro scans the source document, duplicates the character styles used in the source document, and adds them to the project. Use the Style Designer to manipulate these character styles.
An image that is composed of multiple images. The following are examples of composite images: an image pasted into a document to which you have added callouts, a drawing created with the drawing tools in which you have included more than one shape, and two images pasted in the same location.
Content written for certain audiences and maintainable within the same document – for example, when creating printed material to be distributed to multiple audiences. Parts of the document will be common to all audiences; by applying conditions to the differing content you can maintain a single document for all audiences.
Reports that provide users with information regarding how elements in their source documents have been processed by ePublisher Pro. Alerts users of any potential errors that may occur in their source documents. There are five types of conformance reports: Accessibility reports, Styles reports, Filenames reports, Links reports, and Topics reports.
The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML-based architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical information.
Accessible through View > Document Designer, enables users to touch up online content by allowing the application of overrides.
Accessible through View > Document Manager, it gives users the capability to open source documents from ePublisher and add, remove, and modify groups for a single project.
The Filenames Report determines whether your filename markers have been honored for generated topic pages.
The starting point for all WebWorks ePublisher Pro projects. Each format produces a specific type of output files.
Act of converting source documents to create a set of output files based on user-defined style properties, style options, and format settings.
A record of the events that occur while output files are being generated. For example, each time an HTML or graphics file is successfully generated, WebWorks ePublisher Pro adds an entry to the generation log.
Formatting applied to an image. Graphic styles specify characteristics like type of graphic – JPG, JPEG, GIF, etc. WebWorks ePublisher Pro scans the source document, duplicates the graphic styles used in the source document, and adds them to the project. Use the Style Designer to manipulate these graphic styles.
Refers to the first level in the hierarchy represented in the Document Manager. It is the primary container for source documents, subgroups, and the entry-point file to the Help system. Each group generates a separate Help system. Use groups to represent entities such as products or departments within a company or file folders on a computer system.
An image with clickable regions or hotspots that link to relevant information. For example, an image of a map of Europe might provide links to resources related to each country.
A table of contents hierarchy in which one or more heading levels have been skipped. For example, a table of contents in which a fourth-level heading immediately follows a second-level heading uses an irregular table of contents hierarchy.
The Links Report logs how external and internal files and links have been processed by ePublisher Express.
A element users apply to a paragraph, topic, or image in the source document to provide additional processing instructions. Markers associate information such as a filename or topicIDs with a paragraph, topic, or image. For example, filename marker information is used to specify the names of output files, and TopicAlias markers are used for creating context-sensitive Help.
Refers to the type of marker that is inserted in the source document. ePublisher will scan the source document for markers, populate the project with the marker styles, and associate each marker style with the proper functionality.
Multiple first-level groups’ output files combined to create a Help system that functions as a single unit.
A frame that hosts some navigation items for online content. This may include a table of contents, an index, search, favorites, and/or a glossary.
A virtual folder used to organize source documents within a first-level group. It serves as a means of arranging and categorizing source documents and does not represent an actual volume or TOC level for a generated set of files.
Creates the necessary files for a complete online Help system. Online Help formats included with ePublisher Pro are WebWorks Help5.0, Microsoft HTML Help 1.x, Microsoft WinHelp, Sun JavaHelp 1.1.3, Sun JavaHelp 2, and Oracle Help.

Accessible through View > Output Explorer, it gives users the capability to open the generated output files from ePublisher.
Any file generated by WebWorks ePublisher Pro. Output files are housed in the project’s output directory.
A change made with the Document Designer to the preview of a single document.

Defines the appearance and additional elements of the online content on a page level. Page styles are used to specify page background properties, corporate logos and contact information, and navigation controls.
Defines the appearance and additional elements of the online content on a paragraph level. Paragraph styles are used to specify formatting characteristics like fonts and indents. For example, a Heading 1 paragraph style may use a larger font that a Body paragraph style. WebWorks ePublisher Pro reads in the paragraph styles used in the source document and lets the user specify how they should appear in the online content.
A Help topic displayed in a popup window. Typically used to display small amounts of information, such as definitions of terms. Popup topics are supported in the following formats: WebWorks Help 5.0, Microsoft HTML Help 1.x, Microsoft WinHelp, and Sun JavaHelp 1.1.3 and 2.0.
