XMetaL is suitable for business users who are accustomed to using Word.

We will demonstrate how easy it is to create and edit DITA topics and show the similarities with many legacy authoring tools.

A brief explanation of XMetaL's main menu and toolbar will be given and we will show how easy it is to work with lists, tables and images, how to insert markup using menus and toolbar buttons, Drag & Drop and Copy & Paste.

XMetaL's three main views Normal, Tags On, Plain Text will be shown and explained, plus we show how to configure XMetaL's rich interface to show panes for inspecting XML elements and element attributes.

Last but not least, we will show XMetaL's Resource Manager, where you can organize frequently used objects such as files, images, text and markup blocks.

Reuse means increased author productivity, improved consistency and quicker global updates.

With DITA, you can replace error-prone and expensive copy/paste processes with modern "write once, use in many places" reuse strategies. We will demonstrate reuse at the topic level using maps and conref for reuse beneath the topic level such as procedure steps, product description, etc.

We will show how XMetaL supports the new content push and content range reference features introduced with the DITA 1.2 standard.

Styling of conditional text and Show/Hide Conditional Text settings when generating output will be demonstrated as well.

For other schema we will demonstrate the more general XML Inclusion (XInclude) which XMetaL 6.0 now supports.

Gaps in meeting client’s requirements have a negative effect on productivity.

We show hot to customize and extend XMetaL without any programming or special technical knowledge such as: usability/aesthetic improvements, promote/enforce style guidelines, dialogs for editing custom metadata values and support for DITA specializations.

We will demonstrate how you can insert elements and attributes efficiently and display additional image formats in the editor.

If you have your own schema or DITA specialization, JustSystems provide extensive technical product support to both customers and partners to make your customizations successful.

XMetaL easily integrates with 3rd-party applications, such as image software, databases and spreadsheets for data extraction, etc.

Accelerate documentation cycles with collaborative XML document reviewing.

We will show how the new capabilities of XMetaL Reviewer 6.0 when combined with XMetaL Author Enterprise 6.0 can form the foundation for a unified XML authoring and reviewing platform.

With XMetaL Reviewer any number of documents can be reviewed together as a single project. This includes, but is not limited to: Projects and large documents based on DITA Maps, Multi-document projects for distributing XML documents as a single project for review, Project bundles to send with the material for review, all related content plus any material or associated content that is not necessarily part of the review.

Other highlights shown: Reference PDF Generation, Administration and Tracking, and Enhanced communications and reporting.

Take advantage of the new DITA 1.2 features in an easy to use and powerful way using XMetaL Author Enterprise.

The DITA 1.2 introduces some powerful capabilities that take content reuse to the next level. Using keys and key references you can swap in new content without having to modify the source. Another powerful feature is the ability to push in new content at publishing time using conref push.

DITA 1.2 also adds new specializations for the machinery industry and as well as support for marking hazard statements compliant with ANSI Z535 and ISO 3864. General Specializations can be found in additions for SCORM-compliant learning and training modules, and a much improved glossary with better support for web publishing multilingual glossaries.

Also shown: constraining content models without creating specializations and define and maintain constraints on metadata without specialist skills.
