The Eclipse Create for S1000D and iSpec 2200 (A)CMM/SB provide editing environments which are both clear and concise, and are straightforward and intuitive to use. The strength of these applications is their ability to obtain printed page layouts for the various structured files which conform to the relevant specification layout instructions.
Users of the Mekon applications have a variety of editing environment preferences from WYSIWYG to fully expanded SGML/XML ‘element tags’
The rather cryptic official element names are displayed in a more meaningful way whilst still retaining the underlying ability to save compliant SGML/XML files for transfer purposes. A range of user definable configuration options are provided to both allow for work with legacy files and provide a variety of different final formats to comply with several clients.
Eclipse Create S1000D for FrameMaker provides authoring and printing environments for Data Modules complying with Issue 1 changes 6 to 9, Issue 2.0 to 2.3 and Issue 3.
Mekon Eclipse S1000D for PTC Arbortext Editor is especially designed for use by experienced Arbortext Editor authors creating S1000D Data Modules in a busy production environment. Eclipse S1000D builds on the exceptional power and usability of Arbortext Editor to provide the most powerful S1000D publishing solution on the market.
Eclipse Create BookBuild allows users to create "hard copy" publications from ASD S1000D Data Modules. The user has almost complete control over the structure of the publication. The application also provides the ability to combine multiple Data Modules within a single chapter (DM Type and Issue restrictions apply). Outputs are availabe to provide a directly connected printer output as well as PDF files. (Eclipse Create S1000D for FrameMaker is also required)
Eclipse Create iSpec 2200 (A)CMM/SB provides authoring and printing environments for (Abbreviated) Component Maintenance Manuals ((A)CMM) and Service Bulletins (SB). The application complies with a wide range of SGML DTD versions.

It can handle multi-section and multi-chapter publications. The applicatin has the ability to import ASD S1000D Crew Data Modules and convert them to the JSP 543 format (Eclpse Create S100D for FrameMaker is required for this function).
Eclipse SGML/XML to PDF provides a simple way to create PDF files from varying quantities of SGML or XML files. The application creates a PDF file combining all the individual SGML or XML files. Book Marks are created to allow for rapid navigation between the files.
