BOOXITE / PAGINA
From manuscript to book. One connected process.
A manuscript passes through many hands before it becomes a book. BOOXITE brings authors, editors, production teams and production providers together on a shared platform, helping coordinate handovers and reduce repeated data transfers between stages.
With BOOXITE, pagina makes XML-based book production accessible particularly to small and medium-sized publishers. Its publishing-as-a-service approach provides a route into structured workflows without having to build a production platform in-house. XML provides the shared foundation for print and digital editions behind the scenes.
THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
Four stages. One shared content foundation.
- 01
Prepare the manuscript
After upload, the manuscript is analysed and converted to XML. Quality checks help identify structural errors early so they can be corrected before editing continues.
- 02
Edit together
Authors and editors work on the text in the author portal using a Word-like editor. A typeset preview shows how the content will appear in the layout.
- 03
Review the layout
Automated typesetting uses configured design templates. The production team reviews the typeset pages and coordinates adjustments. Publisher-specific templates support the visual identity of each list.
- 04
Deliver print and e-books
Structured content supports print and EPUB output. The connected print portal links cost calculations for specifications and print runs with ordering and file delivery.
Publishing expertise meets workflow technology.
pagina brings publishing knowledge, XML technology and typesetting expertise together in BOOXITE. SiteFusion provides the foundation for content management and workflow-driven processes, while parsX supports XML-based book production. The Mediaprint Group supplies the print portal. Together, these capabilities connect editorial work, production and printing. Process design draws on the recommendations of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association’s Taskforce IT-Standards.
Clear processes. Room for your publishing identity.
Standardised production stages leave room for distinctive books. Custom design templates and the option to involve preferred typesetting and print providers combine automation with publishing flexibility. A shared XML foundation supports reuse of your content beyond a single edition.
How it connects with SiteFusion.
Together with SiteFusion, the project defines how structured content, media and approvals reach the typesetting stage. The choice of parsX, icefox and other tools follows the publication type and design requirements.
