Unique Functionality to Optimize Each Role
Low-code / No-code Structured Xml-based Authoring
Next generation Microsoft Word or web browser authoring options
In QPP NextGen, subject-matter experts and technical writers just focus on writing. They have the unique choice of using Microsoft Word or a web browser to write from and don’t need to learn the complexities of XML schemas or content modeling, as XML metadata and tagging is automatically generated in the background. It’s the modern way to write complex content. Learn more about structured authoring in Microsoft Word.
Xml Schema Flexibility
Quark Smart Content? DITA? DocBook? S1000D? Be free to use any XML schema
Why restrict yourself and put your eggs in one basket? With Quark, you have the freedom to use any XML schema, depending on your technical or business document requirements. This includes our own simplified and customizable Quark Smart Content schema which has the XML data context to allow AI platforms such as OpenAI to talk to them. You can even convert your content from one schema to another in QPP NextGen. Learn more about XML structured authoring.
