DL Composer
DL Composer quickly and accurately publishes extremely large documents based on Format Output Specification Instance (FOSI). FOSI is a military standard also known as mil-28001 (mil-std-28001c).
Table of Contents
Automatically generate a Table of Contents with chapter headings, section numbers, and page numbers.
Auto Generated Lists
Automatically generate lists of illustrations, figures, tables, and other composition elements.
List of Effected Pages for Loose Leaf Publication
Large documents, such as aircraft manuals, undergo changes on a regular basis. Being difficult and costly to keep current, these documents are often published in loose-leaf binders.
DL Composer is an excellent tool for composing loose-leaf style publications. With DL Composer, users can track changes made to a published document, and republish only the effected pages. Users can also produce a list of affected pages along with instructions on where to insert them.
Automatic Counters
Use DL Composer to maintain and increment dozens of counters, including numbered and lettered outlines, page sections, appendices, and roman numeral and lettered pages.
Graphics
DL Composer supports the following graphics formats:
- EPS
- TIFF
- GIF
- PNG
CALS Tables
Process and build large CALS tables. DL Composer has been tested using over 2000 pages of multi-column tables with thousands of rows.
DL Composer is the only SGML based composition engine that consumes FOSI style sheets and performs loose-leaf composition. High-end publications required to adhere to the FOSI standard use DL Composer because it is the most versatile, accurate and robust publishing engine available.
