Style Sheet Development for HTML and Help Formats

Suite Solutions develops and implements XSL and CSS style sheets for publishing your DITA, S1000D and other XML doctypes into a variety of HTML-based formats for web, online help, knowledge base and more. The style sheets may be used stand-alone or can be integrated with a CMS tool chain.
We work with you to fully understand your requirements and formalize them into a statement of work (SOW) before we begin the development stage. A variety of source documents can be provided as a benchmark for determining the design and look and feel of the XSL and CSS style sheets.
Help and Delivery Platforms
Suite Solutions can provide style sheets for automated multi-channel publishing to a variety of help and delivery platforms, including:

• HTML and XHTML
• HTML Help (CHM)
• Eclipse InfoCenter and stand-alone Eclipse help
• Apple Help
• Webhelp
• Adobe AIR
• QT Assistant
• Other custom help and knowledge base formats

Context Sensitive Help – We work with you to implement context sensitive help using methodologies that are easy to maintain in the source documentation and application source code.
Optimization for Localization - We have extensive experience in optimizing the style sheets to support multiple languages and their particular requirements, including the more complex far eastern languages (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Korean) as well as bidirectional text (e.g. Arabic and Hebrew). We also support advanced index sorting for Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and other languages which require complex sorting algorithms.
Modular Design – Style sheets are designed to be modular and easy to maintain. Although we provide ongoing support and maintenance, our goal is to provide you with the ability to function independently.
Integration with Content Management Systems (CMS) – We have a good working relationship and experience with many CMS solution vendors. We will work with any CMS vendor to integrate your style sheets, including passing publication parameters and output options, implementing filtering and conditional processing, passing language information and providing for any other implementation requirements.
Ongoing Maintenance
Although you may maintain your style sheets independently, we also offer a convenient and cost-effective ongoing maintenance option. Our maintenance plan includes:

• Ongoing formatting and functional modifications to your outputs upon request.
• Recommendations and implementations of upgrades to the style sheets as new functionality becomes available in the underlying standards, platforms and tools.
• An online ticket-tracking system for change requests and progress.

Updates are always scheduled to ensure the style sheets are tested and work properly with new configurations.
