Produce enhanced digital documents

This standard is about using digital document software to produce enhanced text-based documents.

Producing enhanced documents involves entering, structuring, formatting and checking information within digital document software, the use of standard templates for different types of documents, and implementing title pages, contents pages and bookmarks in documents. It also involves using page and section breaks to alter the flow of styles across pages, and using images and inserting references and footnotes.
