Authoring Tools News & Articles

Ephox (news, site) unveils the latest update to its EditLive tool for both professionals and enterprises who write for the Web.

At this year's EPiServer Partner Summit -- running today through June 6th -- Ephox (news, site) will be discussing their new online authoring capabilities for EPiSerer CMS. EditLive! claims to bring the power of traditional word processing to non-techies, while simultaneously enhancing productivity and website quality.  

In the past three months both EPiServer CMS (news, site) and Ephox EditLive! (news, site) have been upgraded -- EPiServer CMS to version 6 and EditLive! to version 7.0. Today the two have been integrated so EPiServer CMS users will be now able to use EditLive!

Early last year, IBM (news, site) integrated Ephox’s (news, site) authoring tool EditLive into Lotus Quickr and Lotus Web Content Management. Now, a year later and just before Lotusphere 2010, Ephox has announced that it has upgraded EditLive! with a new autosave function, templating abilities and context based collaboration.

SDL Tridion (news, site) has increased the power of the business with a new tool for their web content management system. SiteEdit 2009 is an in-context web editor that pushes the management of a website's content out to the business owners, removing the notion that web publishing needs to be centralized to be controlled.

At the end of March, Platformic (news, site) introduced a new Embedded Content Tool (ECT) to its web building platform that facilitated the easy use of assets in an enterprise’s media library. As part of its continuing development of a Web Content Management System for use by even novices, it was a timely release.

What they didn’t say at the time was that only six weeks later they would be releasing an entirely new version of their platform that would remove the need for Adobe Dreamweaver, or other third party web-authoring tools.

That version – v3.0 – was unveiled this morning.

IBM’s (news site) Lotus Web Content Management System is to ship with a second HTML editor following the announcement of a new OEM partnership with Ephox, the web content authoring software developer of EditLive.

According to Ephox (news,site), the new editor is for non-technical business users who do not know how to manipulate HTML and who are likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future.

Time to make authoriing content in Lotus Quickr quick and easy. IBM and Ephox have announced the integration of EditLive into IBM's collaboration software, Lotus Quickr. This is just another integration in a long line of integrations for EditLive.
