Overview
Fonto is an online XML editor that has been designed for people with no knowledge of XML or any other technology that comes with structured content authoring.

The schema is preconfigured and can be DITA,JATS or any custom XML schema.

History
Fonto became a separate product after Dutch internet company Liones build a structured content authoring tooling for several publishers in legal and regulatory. With specific knowledge of content management and user experience in mind, the software has been build from scratch. The main focus has always been on users that have no knowledge of XML but have to publish structured documents. Since content creation isn't the main job for most subject matter experts, the application should be intuitive and in line with the document processors, they are used to work with.
