How do you publish one document in multiple formats with Calenco?

Calenco separates content and presentation. Writers focus on technical content, while layout is applied automatically at publishing time according to the company's stylesheets.

From a single source, the same document can be delivered as PDF, HTML, WebHelp, ePub, tablet, or smartphone output. Choosing a format does not require re-entering content or manually reworking the layout.

This multi-format publishing reduces lead times, avoids synchronization errors, and adapts the same content to several uses: print, field consultation, web portal, or embedded documentation.

Calenco relies on a fundamental principle: the separation of content and presentation. Writers focus solely on technical content, without worrying about page layout. Layout is applied automatically by a stylesheet at publication time, according to the selected output format and the company's visual identity guidelines.

From a single source, the same document can be published simultaneously as a PDF (low and high resolution), HTML, WebHelp or ePub, or distributed on tablets and smartphones. Writers select the desired output format, confirm, and Calenco automatically generates the document with its layout applied according to predefined rules.

This multi-format publishing mechanism eliminates the costs and delays associated with multiplying delivery channels. Before Calenco, adapting a document to a new medium required importing it into another software application, redoing the entire layout and risking synchronization errors. With Calenco, the same content from reusable modules adapts to each medium automatically.

Pellenc publishes its technical manuals in 20 languages in several formats simultaneously. SNCF distributes its technical procedures directly on tablets, eliminating the use of paper for its field teams.
