Why Desktop Authoring is still favoured over Cloud Based Authoring

Recorded on June 23, 2025

As more tools shift to the cloud, some assume that desktop authoring is on the way out. But for technical writers working in complex environments—especially those using structured content like DITA—the reality is very different.

In this webinar, Bluestream and CIDM explore why desktop tools like oXygen XML Author remain the go-to platform for professional content teams. With input from the Center for Information-Development Management (CIDM), we’ll explore the functional, technical, and strategic reasons why desktop solutions continue to outperform cloud tools in many authoring scenarios.

XSL-FO/CSS Comparison

Comparing XSL-FO and CSS formatting is not straightforward. XSL implementations are not standing still: XSL formatters are still incrementally improving even though the XSL Recommendation has not been updated since 2006. CSS is definitely not standing still, although some of the modules most relevant to paged media are advancing slowly, if at all, and some paged media features have been removed in more recent Working Drafts.

This will be a high-level view of the differences and similarities between XSL-FO and CSS, based on an extensive new analysis by Antenna House while producing the book “XSL-FO/CSS Comparison” that itself is formatted identically using both XSL-FO and CSS. It also covers some of the features of how the two versions are produced.
