About DynaDoc

DynaDoc is a semi-automated system that helps create multipage hierarchically structured documents in HTML format. It allows authors to focus on generating content, not page layout, linking pages or updating links when changes are made. It allows for the easy restructuring and reuse of content, and content blocks can be reused across several documents. Different versions or subsets of documents can be easily generated from the same base content using conditional pages and text within pages. Multiple documents can be easily cross-linked for seamless integration and consistent presentation styling. Styles can be changed and reapplied to create a completely different looking looks for the same document.

From the document viewer's perspective, DynaDoc provides an attractive, easy to navigate document. It is easy to point someone to a specific page by providing a URL link to that page. A "My_Notes" feature allows viewers to add notes on a page-by-page basis to local copies of the document.

DynaDoc is designed to complement automatic document generation systems and add the presentation layer. For example, DynaDoc is used to automatically create the presentation layer for several thousand page documents and maintain links between the pages that would otherwise be impractical to maintain manually.
