The LwDITA Map Components
Published in Carlos Evia, Creating Intelligent Content with Lightweight DITA, 2018
Chef Pedro and his team can use any text editor to create the HDITA version of the map. They could also use a more advanced HTML editor, including WYSIWYG editors (as long as they allow users to save content as standards-compliant HTML5), or a LwDITA-aware tool like Oxygen XML Editor. Then, they can save the file as sensei-brochure.html. A conventional HTML editor probably will not be able to process the file as an HDITA map, and that’s when the authors would need a LwDITA-aware tool or the DITA-OT. However, because HDITA files are valid HTML5 files, they can be opened in a web browser and produce an instant deliverable. If all Chef Pedro needed were a basic web version of the brochure, and if all the topics referenced in the map were also created in HDITA, this version of the map could provide the navigation structure for it. Additionally, Chef Pedro could link the HDITA topics to an external CSS file for formatting. Figure 5.11 shows a simple web view of the HDITA map, without any content processing or formatting, as seen on a browser.
Creating the Web Site
Published in Tom Hutchison, Paul Allen, Web Marketing for the Music Business, 2013
Many web design software programs feature a process called WYSIWYG, which means “what you see (on the screen) is what you get.” One of the first idiosyncrasies web designers encounter is the fact that a web site’s look will vary from one computer to another. Not all web visitors use the same browser software and hardware, so what may look right on one computer may look completely different on another, or not work at all. Some of the variables that affect consistency are type of software browser, monitor size, monitor resolution, and the end user’s font settings. Web designers must not make the mistake of assuming that a layout will look as good on other people’s computer as it does on theirs. The standards for HTML agreed upon by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) are helping to create some consistency among various browsers, but not all users will have the latest browser version.
The System Components
Published in David Austerberry, Digital Asset Management, 2012
As the power of the PC increased, it became feasible to run graphics-rich programs. Although the PCs had clunky text interfaces with box-like graphics, the early Apples pioneered the way for more fluid interfaces using mouse-driven windows. These led to the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) user interface that we all demand today.

Analyzing the characteristics of an individual system can help choose the appropriate CMS for a specific web application. This is owing to the high variability of functions and features that make one particular CMS more suitable for developing an application than another (Wakode & Chaudhari, 2013). Drupal has multiple benefits, such as (1) The user needs no technical knowledge other than connecting via FTP and installing the databases for installation; (2) the maintenance and updating of the site is easy, as it includes backup of the website and uses a web update interface to replace files. In addition, Drupal alerts the site administrator when an update is required; (3) the strength and contribution of the community, as it is very large in terms of its users and developers; (4) good usability, as administrators can easily access the site or section in visitor mode by simply clicking the edit button. Accessibility to the administration area requires some learning, as its default configuration does not have a refined look and feel. The main package does not include an editor like WYIWYG (What You See is What You Get), but one can be installed as a plug-in. In Drupal, the editing of pages or sections is the same, but when adding a new page, it may be necessary to link it by hand; (5) it is highly scalable with a high traffic handling capability. The user’s websites are cached indefinitely as a default configuration, but can also be cached manually for a set amount of time; (6) security updates are published on drupal.org. Whenever a new update is released, users are informed via the update status plugin. The community is very active, and when security vulnerabilities are detected, they are remediated very quickly. In addition, references are available in order to guide the creation of a more secure site; and finally, (7) user roles and workflows are another of its main benefits, as it includes two sets of default roles (anonymous user and authenticated user). Beyond these, any number of user roles can be created and assigned different permissions depending on the type of content. Additional modules can be used to give more specific permissions to users on the basis of the content section and by using the taxonomy function.
