Computer Aided Authoring and Editing

摘要

Computer-aided authoring and editing are now feasible. This report describes elements of a computer-based publishing system which: creates training materials (presentations, exercises, and tests) containing both text and graphics from a limited data base, edits text for readability providing computer-generated suggestions to the author for simplifying the material, and generates camera-ready copy. The text stream and digitized graphics are used in each step above, so that they need only be entered once. A prototype system with each of these features is operating on the Training Analysis and Evaluation Group's computer. (Author)
