An Advance in XML Authoring Productivity, Syntext Serna WYSIWYG Editor 2
BELLEVUE, Wash., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Syntext, Inc. (http://www.syntext.com/) is proud to present the second version of its Serna WYSIWYG XML Editor. Serna is the first and only WYSIWYG XML editor incorporating on-the-fly XSL-driven rendering technology that allows users to work with XML documents close to their "print appearance."
Development of the new Serna was specially concentrated on significant usability enhancements. "XML documents are not just about technology," said Paul Antonov, Syntext CEO. "Tool usability and customizability is what really makes XML authoring effective and beneficial for the enterprise. The new highly flexible user interface is made to meet the great variety of authors' habits and tastes. The ability to easily create and use context-sensitive content templates drastically increases efficiency of typical or sophisticated document authoring."
The new functionality includes very large document support, graphical CALS table support, on-the-fly document profiling with switchable XSLT parameter sets, advanced XML-aware Find & Replace, instant setup of enterprise-specific configuration settings, C++ API, and many other features. The PDF Publishing Package for Serna allows authors to generate high-quality PDF documents right from Serna with just a single button click. This package utilizes the Antenna House XSL Formatter, the fastest XSL-FO rendering engine on the market.
"Serna is progressing rapidly," continued Paul Antonov. "In March 2005 we are planning to release Serna Enterprise Beta version with Python scripting support. The power and simplicity of this scripting language will allow for rapid development of enterprise-specific functionality and easy integration with existing corporate document management infrastructure."
The key features of Syntext Serna include: out-of-the-box support of leading XML standards such as DocBook, DITA, TEI, XHTML, and NITF; on-the-fly XSL rendering and document validation (based on XML Schema); support for XML catalogs; XSL-FO and CALS table support; multilingual spell checking; and availability for Microsoft Windows(TM) (2000, XP), Mac OS X, and Linux.
