Creating Projects Based on Stationery
Writers use ePublisher Express and Stationery created by a Stationery designer to generate output. When you use ePublisher Express to create a project based on Stationery, you specify the Stationery you want the project to use and the source documents you want to include in the project. The Stationery file uses a
.wxsp file extension and contains information and settings for the project to use, such as style or format information, variable values, condition settings, cross-reference definitions, and more. The source documents contain the content for which you want to generate output. The project uses the settings specified in the Stationery file and the content and formatting in the source documents to generate output. A project file created with ePublisher Express uses the .wrp file extension.Note: You cannot create a project based on Stationery using ePublisher Designer. You can only create projects based on Stationery using ePublisher Express. Stationery designers use ePublisher Designer to create Stationery using Stationery design projects.
