About this training course
These classes are for Arbortext Styler users who want to learn advanced techniques for designing formatting for one or more of the different Styler output options (PDF, HTML, ePub, etc.). Courses are topic-focused on specific Arbortext Styler features, functionality, or concepts that stretch beyond the basics (see listings for specifics). All deliveries are a combination of lectures mixed with examples and hands-on exercises. Each attendee will be on a computer building and authoring stylesheets that work with standards-based documents.
Prerequisites
Previous Experience: Previous experience in Styler is necessary. Attendees should have previously completed Arbortext Styler Basic Training, or have experience using Arbortext Styler, or completed working through Arbortext 102, which takes readers through the full cycle from start to finish.
Software License: Attendees must have their own license of Arbortext Styler; attendees who do not have a license are welcome to attend and observe.
Where is the class held?
We offer both public and private deliveries, either fully remote or in-person. Regardless of the delivery style, all workshops are led by a live, online expert instructor, making for a fully interactive and engaging experience.
Virtual Public Deliveries are held online and, when you share your screen, it's just as if we're just like we're standing behind you and looking over your shoulder. All students can speak and hear each other and the instructor during lecture and hands-on lab exercises. The only difference between this class and in-person? No travel costs.
Private deliveries can be held virtually using your environment, on-site at your facility, or at a location nearby. Contact a training advisor to discuss specific requirements.
Our training sessions are highly interactive and engaging. All sessions are designed to be hands-on using standard, out-of-the-box Arbortext Editor and Styler. All training is done through hands-on exercises to increase adoption and solidify learning.
Training sessions focus on specific topics such as:
- Advanced cover design
- Customizing HTML and Web output
- Delivering ePub
- Stylesheet as module
- Creating your second stylesheet and beyond
- Advanced troubleshooting
- Adding XLIFF support
- Managing multiple-doctype support
- Where to go for help
- Other topics…
Individually scheduled sessions identify the topic focus.

What Attendees Have Said
Now everything makes sense. I read the book and understood, but now I really get it. I could ask questions and more deeply understand. Thanks!
I worked through the book [Arbortext 102] and needed that little extra help to do what we needed. Thanks!
That very helpful. You certainly have a gift for the work you do. You communicate so well to those who “speak you language” and also to people like me that can only understand the highest level details. Thanks for everything!
