ePublisher is a publishing engine designed to transform source documents into multiple output formats for technical documentation and help systems. It enables users to author content in Markdown++, Microsoft Word, Adobe FrameMaker, or DITA XML, and from a single source, generate outputs for various channels including web, print, digital books, in-app help, and legacy formats. The tool is aimed at teams and organizations seeking to streamline the creation and delivery of user-facing help and AI-ready knowledge base archives.
