Subject: Arbortext Provides Epic Editor 4.2 to XML 2001 Conference Authors


Arbortext Provides Epic Editor 4.2 Software to XML 2001 Conference Authors

ANN ARBOR, Mich., October 1, 2001 -- Arbortext, Inc., the only global
provider of XML-based software that enables the creation, editing and
publishing of information from a single-source of content to multiple
media types, today announced it is providing its newest software, Epic
Editor version 4.2, to the XML 2001 Conference authors for writing their
conference papers.  Conference authors can take advantage of many new
capabilities this latest version supports including, collaboration through
change tracking, inline editing of document components, and easier
conversion of multiple content formats to XML.

Epic Editor’s change tracking capability fully supports the process of
shared information creation, review and approval so that groups of authors
can work collaboratively to create papers for this year’s conference
proceedings.

“We’re happy to provide Epic Editor 4.2 to this year’s authors and
continue our long-standing support of this conference,” said PG Bartlett,
vice president marketing for Arbortext.  “XML 2001 brings together some of
the brightest minds from around the world to discuss the latest
technology, trends, and new products.  Providing copies of Epic Editor to
the authors is another way to support this exciting conference.”

Through its long-standing leadership role in XML, Arbortext continues to
protect its customers’ investment by developing standards-compliant
software for single-source multichannel publishing.  Arbortext’s recent
release of Epic version 4.2 builds on that tradition with the following
enhanced collaboration features and expanded support of XML standards:
·	Change tracking.  Provides groups of authors the ability to track text
and markup changes made to a document.
·	Publishing standards support.  With Epic 4.2, Arbortext now provides the
industry’s most powerful support for the Extensible Stylesheet Language
(XSL), through its embedded XSLT processing engine and XSL-FO processing
engine. Arbortext has tuned these engines to handle long, complex
documents that require high-quality formatting.
·	Inline editing of compound documents.  Enables authors to edit document
components directly within the same window instead of launching separate
windows.  When an author tries to change a component, Epic Editor
automatically checks it out or protects it from changes, based on an
inquiry to the repository.
·	Format conversion.  Epic Editor’s enhanced mapping function reduces
development time by 75% for setting up conversions from other publishing
sources to XML (and from XML to those sources).
·	Content management.  Version 4.2 continues Epic Editor’s tight
integration with many content management systems with support for the
latest releases of Documentum (version 4.2) and Oracle iFS (version
1.1.9).
·	Programming standards support.  Through Epic Editor’s new support for
JavaScript, existing bindings to Java, C/C++ and COM, and enhanced support
for the W3C’s Document Object Model (DOM) API, developers can create
customizations using their preferred programming languages.  Epic Editor
supports DOM Ranges and Level 2 events.
·	CJK support.  Epic Editor 4.2 provides editing support for Traditional
Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean and Japanese content.
