Single sourcing is a great concept, but can it really work? Whether you’re evaluating WebWorks Publisher 6.0 or already creating electronic output, The WebWorks Publisher Cookbook is your guide to this powerful and challenging tool. At last, here’s a complete guide to this complex software that creates HTML, XML, JavaHelp, WinHelp, and other online formats from FrameMaker files. 
The Cookbook begins with a step-by-step guide to project setup, and then provides details for each of WebWorks Publisher’s templates. In addition to full printed scripts for template customizations, readers get access to cut-and-paste code listings on Scriptorium Publishing’s web site. The latter part of the book is for battle-hardened users only: context-sensitive help, the WebWorks Publisher macro language, and regular expressions. 
Single sourcing can save enormous amounts of time and money, but only if the process works smoothly. The Cookbook will help you implement a true single-sourcing environment, where all of your electronic outputs are created from one set of FrameMaker files.
