Several years ago, ABDA member Jens Troeger  started to build tools which extract semantic structure from a manuscript, to check a growing number of details so easily overlooked when editing, and that produce a format where you can then be creative. The formats include InDesign or EPUB for an ebook—accessibility already built in, even a print-ready PDF book, and more.

Jens’s decades of experience as a professional software architect have enabled him to build tools that support his passion for creating and designing books. Jens is seeking designers who are interested in trialing Bookalope. If you’re interested please email Jens on jens.troeger@light-speed.de for more details.
