About Inera

Since 1992, Inera has supplied sophisticated editorial and production solutions to the publishing marketplace. Inera develops and licenses the eXtyles family of Word-based editorial and XML solutions, which allow publishers to automate the most time-consuming aspects of document cleanup, formatting, and editing and to produce accurate XML with the click of a mouse. Publishers of scholarly journals and books, standards, and government documents rely on eXtyles to standardize content in Word and create high-quality XML to drive print, online, and ePub production.
