How to use it?

The STD editor uses a text file as a source. By using a mouse or a keyboard, you can mark up the structure in the text e.g. headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, etc. it It is possible to produce a fully marked up document in a very short time without any knowledge of the actual code tags

It is also possible to use the STD editor without a source file. As in any other text editor simply write the text and mark the structural elements.

The STD editor inserts class names in all the important tags (e.g. level, pagenumber, heading etc.) making the generated document very suitable for the use with stylesheets.

The STD editor is in compliance with the DAISY or NISO standard for Digital Talking Books.
