CSS Direct Design (CDD) is now available in IGP:Digital Publisher. This means the same IGP:FoundationXHTML that is used to create the Print PDF and reflowable ePub3 can be used to create highly designed fixed-layout pages.

CSS Direct Design (CDD) is now available in IGP:Digital Publisher. This means the same IGP:FoundationXHTML that is used to create the Print PDF and reflowable ePub3 can be used to create highly designed fixed-layout pages.

CDD also supports fixed layout blocks and widgets that can be inserted into reflowable ePub3s. CDD is specifically targeted at the creation of sophisticated interative education content that breaks the ePub2/3 book print copy book method, but it can be used for any fixed layout production work.

We believe strongly in WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) XHTML5 markup for publisher content and the preservation of accessibility, even with extreme design and interactivity. A benefit of this approach ensures the reusable value of digital content so it can be used and processed for anything; now and into the future.

We also believe that fixed and reflowable content should be easy to produce from the same source XHTML5 as any other format with nothing proprietary about it.
