sthetik ist nicht das Einzige, was Sie beim Erstellen einer Formatvorlage anstreben sollten. In Technischer Dokumentation, wie Benutzerhandb chern und Online-Hilfen, sind Usability," Lesbarkeit und Einfachheit mindestens ebenso wichtig. Das Design soll das Auge des Betrachters erfreuen, gleichzeitig muss es die Inhalte klar und bersichtlich kommunizieren. Absatzformate und Zeichenformate sollten beim Schreiben des Dokuments einfach zu handhaben sein. Der Layout-Prozess sollte so weit wie m glich automatisiert werden. Da Technische Dokumentation in der Regel h ufig aktualisiert wird, ist ein automatisierter Layout-Prozess hier wesentlich wichtiger als in anderen Buchtypen. Wenn Sie z. B. einen neuen Absatz in ein Dokument einf gen, darf dies nicht dazu f hren, dass Sie alle nachfolgenden Seitenwechsel von Hand neu optimieren m ssen - ganz zu schweigen von Seitenzahlen, Querverweisen, dem Inhaltsverzeichnis und dem Index. Absatzformate und Zeichenformate zu definieren, die beim Erstellen und Pflegen eines Dokuments effizient anwendbar sind, erfordert viel Erfahrung als Technischer Redakteur. Die in diesem Buch gegebenen Empfehlungen sind die Essenz dieser Erfahrung. Alle Kapitel enthalten zahlreiche Beispiele, die Sie als Inspiration und Ausgangspunkt f r Ihre eigenen Designs nutzen k nnen. Diese Ausgabe des Buchs ist zweisprachig: Englisch + Deutsch. Alle global relevanten Themen werden in englischer Sprache behandelt. Themen und Hinweise, die speziell die deutsche Sprache und Dokumente f r den deutschen Sprachraum betreffen, sind in deutscher Sprache beschrieben. Inhalt: Grundlagen zum Layout; Satzspiegel festlegen; Schriftarten und Abst nde w hlen; Manuelle Formatierungen vermeiden; Semantische Formate vorsehen; Formate hierarchisch organisieren; Empfohlene Bildschirm-Layouts; Empfohlene Seiten-Layouts; Empfohlene Tabellen-Designs; Empfohlene Absatzformate; Empfohlene Zeichenformate. Zielgruppe: Technische Redakteure, Entwickler, Marketing-Verantwortliche, Produktmanager, Grafiker und Mediengestalter.
