Abstract

Current authoring tools have limitations in creating large-scale product training documents in a timely manner because of labor-intensive and time-consuming authoring processes. We present an automated authoring method based on a formal specification for dynamically generating ISO DSSSL document styles. From the generated styles, we transform the existing storage-based product documents into large-scale presentation-based product training manuals
