Authoring with Eclipse iSpec 2200

Ease of use

Simple Pageblock preview

  • Preview a pageblock with basic formatting without having to format the entire document. This allows authors to get a better idea of the document content at stages throughout the authoring process.

Revision preparation

  • Simple functions to reset the change mark-up in a document before starting the revision process. Record of Revision data can be added to the document and automatically formatted to populate the Record of Revision table.

Auto generated tables including Illustrated Parts indexes

  • Alpha-numeric indexes of parts and other optional indexes for the IPC data are generated automatically from the IPC content.

Automatic attribute setting

  • Dramatically reduce creation and editing time and reduce the opportunity for human error. Even a small ATA document will have hundreds of attributes that need to be managed. With the Eclipse application, when you set an attribute value it will be copied down the structure to all the elements that need it.

AIPC conversion tool

  • A tool is included to convert IPC content held as a spreadsheet into mark-up that can be copied straight into the AIPC document avoiding the need for time-consuming rekeying of data. This also helps minimise the risk of transcription errors.

Configurable

Multiple configuration options

  • The application contains multiple configuration options allowing the author to customise the document styling for title pages and other standard text not part of the document content. These stylesheet options are set in a easily editable configuration file.
  • Other, easily accessible dialogs allow graphics and text for page headers to be configured and pre-defined address blocks to be specified for the title page.

Comprehensive

Multiple Versions of the DTD

  • The application supports multiple versions of both the AMM and AIPC DTDs; up to issue 13 of AMM and issue 17 of the AIPC.
