Their solution was to separate product-specific PDFs into a series of, mostly common, HTML topic pages. These HTML file were, in turn, processed into a web deliverable package via Python scripting.</p> <p> </p><p>The solution is complex, as the Wacom system includes interrelationships between 150+ topics across over 30 products and 14 languages.</p> <p>The solution required “a more technical Tech Writer” -- as it required knowledge of HTML<br>Python<br>JavaScript<br>Excel Macros</p> <p>Wacom implemented their solution by integrating their tech writer in their Engineering team. They also included a dedicated engineering resource to support design and development of their technical docs.</p> <p></p> <p><b>Speaker: Arthur Krebsbach, Windows Software Engineer</b></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.meetup.com/Write-The-Docs-PDX/events/237502711/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
