Link Studio
A revolutionary e-publishing tool for creating hypertext links without the need for any manual editing of documents
Link Studio entirely eliminates the need for manual tagging of data and creation of hypertext links, saving money and time and allowing large-scale linking projects that were previously impractical to become a reality.
It represents a major advance in electronic publishing and content management.
Product Benefits
Link Studio…
- Enables large-scale linking projects to be carried out in a matter of minutes or hours, rather than the weeks or months it would take using manual methods, and for a small fraction of the cost.
- Identifies citations or other references (such as key words and phrases) within the text of documents and automatically converts them into hypertext links.
- Entirely eliminates the need for the manual tagging of data and creation of hypertext links, a highly labour-intensive and often prohibitively expensive editorial task.
- Produces formatted, browser-ready documents without the need for any further programming, online access or document delivery software.
- Encourages increased use of electronic information products and stimulates increased traffic to websites by providing instant, single-click access to cited documents and other relevant resources.
- Enhances the quality and usability of many types of electronic content, such as legal and regulatory information, academic and professional journals, training materials and technical and financial data, by enabling users to navigate seamlessly between related documents.
Product Features
