Confusion in S1000D is not uncommon! I often have to spell out for clients the difference between eXtensible Markup Language (XML), or structure, S1000D (specification) and the role of supporting software (both XML and S1000D). XML delivers many incredible benefits to our content production and deployments. We can be flexible in the way we produce,…
The S1000D CSDB is a tool specifically designed to support the required and necessary, often complex, components of an S1000D project.
