Template Typography Setup

Overview

IGP:Digital Publisher has advanced features in the IGP:Typography In the Browser module for typography reporting of the various standard typography features required in modern publishing.

These need to be set up once in the Account Template Manager. Note that these "in-house rules" apply globally for an account so are applied to all books.

This is a one-time account setup requirement.

Note that at this time these values are only used for Typography Reporting but in future releases will also be used to enforce the rules.

There are options to control Section, Page, Paragraph and Line turns using standard typographic conventions.

To open Typography Setup from the Template Toobar click the Typo Setup button. The Typography Setup interface will open.

Make any changes you need to the Typography rules.

Click the Save button to apply your changes.
