We’re publishers—just like you. We’ve been through the long shifts,entering and editing text, setting type, importing images, and tryingto get files to print. On most of those late nights and early mornings,we could have been home in bed if we had known just one key pieceof information. But we weren’t. There was no one there to tell us.We’re here to tell you.If some piece of information in this book saves you one late night,we will have succeeded in our purpose.How This Book Was ProducedTo answer the question we’ve been asked so many times: Yes, we produced this book in Adobe InDesign. We created art using Snapz Pro,SnagIt, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign’s tools.We used Adobe’s Minion Pro family for our body text—a workhorse typeface that manages to look both modern and classical at thesame time. For code, we used TheSansMonoCondensed, by Lucas deGroot (from lucasfonts.com).Bonus MaterialsIf we included everything we wanted—obscure features, charminganecdotes, and so on—this book would be over 2,000 pages.We cut a lot of information out of this book to keep the size down.Bonus materials include XML workflow information (an entire chapter), scripting resources, and more. To access this material on theweb, you will need to register your book.
