Des livres en HTML

We believe that single-source content in HTML, with styling expressed with CSS, is the best way to make our books.
Dave Cramer, Beyond XML: Making Books with HTML

Fabriquer des livres imprimés et numériques avec HTML + CSS, plutôt qu’avec InDesign ou XML ? C’est ce qui a été mis en place chez Hachette Book Group, et ce que nous raconte Dave Cramer.

In InDesign, the content and the presentation are inseparable—two different presentations of the same content means having two independent files. Even embedding XML in InDesign doesn’t change anything; you still have to maintain that content in multiple files. We needed something better.
