OASYS PROFESSIONAL XML EDITING

The OASYS composition and pagination software packages are some of the most sophisticated and flexible products in the publishing industry today, providing complete control over the preparation, production and management of many different types of commercial and specialized work, including legal, scientific, and technical publications.

Each product offers an abundance of features for producing high-quality, professional documents, while providing the tools to automate the page assembly process, and provide the throughput speed required to lower the per-page costs. In the background, OASYS assembles pages containing multi-level extractions, footnotes, sidenotes, illustrations and tables at speeds of one second per page. In the foreground, the wysiwyg capability enables an operator to view, adjust, edit and proof pages on the screen before output takes place. The inherent XML workflow allows OASYS to fit into even the most demanding publishing environments.

These benefits make OASYS an extremely powerful tool for many applications, including:
