Well-Formed Document Explained

Scribe builds its multipurpose publishing philosophy on a well-formed document workflow. The well-formed document itself is simply data that is organized in a logical hierarchical structure, whose distinct elements are each treated consistently, and which conforms to established conventions of spelling, grammar, and style. What makes the well-formed document so valuable an asset in the publishing process is that it lends itself to multipurpose publishing. A well-formed document is very adaptable to different formats and publishing environments.
