Add your own review!

Overview

Single Sourcing is a method for developing re-usable information. Although project planning and document conversion are essential to any single sourcing project, it is modular writing that ultimately determines success. This book explains in plain language and by example how to build modular documentation you can re-use in different formats for different audiences and purposes. It includes a conceptual overview of the single sourcing method, a 10-step process for transforming linear documents into modular documents, and detailed writing guidelines. The guidelines show you how to structure content, configure language, and leverage technology to maximize the usability and re-usability of your documents.
