burntcopperThey uploaded a new design of the xml versions of the articles. It looks very nice, it's much cleaner and simpler and prettier and confuses the luddite authors less than the old version.
It went live end of last week.
So of course, our department has spent the last two days hitting the brick walls of all the things they forgot to put in because they don't come across them. We're getting about one every half hour at this rate....
Example #5,321 : Paragraph and indent tags in tables aren't even *registering* - the new system is actually ignoring them. (they're present in the base xml file, but if you hit 'view source', they disappear)
Yesterday I had to point out that they'd missed a bunch of font tags out of one section of the css.
Me : 'there's something wrong with the css tags'
Them : 'we see nothing!'
Me :prints out and circles the missing section in red ink from the css file:
Them : 'er. whoops.'
Ah, designers' vision vs. the people who actually have to *use* it...
