Hi Karen, Why teach them RST or TEI. Give then a WSYWIG editor. The PPers would only need how to use a simplistic editor and need not worry in what format the file is saved in, nor worry about making mistakes using the format. Another benefit is if for what ever reason the "master format" changes the PPers do not have to learn something new, just rewrite the editor to output the new format. regards Keith.

What if DP revised its workflow so that one person combined all the pages, checked for inconsistencies and typos, and marked all the chapter headings and section headings with some easy markup? This text could then be passed to someone who specialized in markup. This would basically split the PP process into two parts. It would resemble a real-world publishing workflow in which editors are asked to mark text divisions before passing the text to the layout person.
If we did that, we wouldn't have to teach all the PPers RST or TEI. Just a few.
