Authoring

Designed primarily for Standards Developers, Authoring has proven value for any technical authors or those working with structured content.

Authoring

So much more than just an XML editor — Authoring is a powerful, collaborative platform for creating, managing, and enriching digital standards and other structured content. With a familiar, "Word-like" interface, it enables natural language authoring while seamlessly generating NISO XML. Whether you're drafting new standards, revising existing ones, or managing national adoptions, SD Authoring streamlines your workflow with built-in project and document management, real-time previews, and publishing tool connectivity. Focus on content and structure—not layout—while ensuring consistency and quality through templates, rules, and support for national formats.
