SGML/XML files for Cross-Media Publishing

Many publications beside in print today appear also in the World Wide Web, on presentation CDs and in full text data base systems. In these new media tagging languages such as SGML, HTML and XML are increasingly used, in order to structure text in such a way that it is suitable at the same time and without additional expenditure for both paper print and for the publication in the Internet.
The production of standardized tagged files from raw manuscripts as well as the insertion of changes into these files are just as laborious as expensive.
As part of our OCR services, we specialize in the production of tagged files and can provide you with a professional comprehensive service including the insertion of the tags at unrivaled low prices.
For those OCR services we cooperate successfully with publishing and printing houses for whom we transfer paper documents into SGML-based control files for printing or into HTML or XML pages.
