introduction to digital documentation
Answers
Answer:
Digital documentation is a method of converting the physical text into digital text. This includes many formatting options to create beautiful and arranged documents. There are many styles and formatting options which also includes color changing and paragraph writing in the digital documents. You can use table options to create and store data in the table. Pictures can also be inserted in digital documents.
Answer:Information created on nonelectronic media, typically text or images on paper or film, and converted to an electronic format that can be stored and manipulated by a computer.
When we refer to a paper document, a papyrus document, or a microfilmed document, the meaning is clear. However, the idea of a "digital document" is more difficult. We can recognize e-mail and a technical report generated by a wordprocessor as digital documents, but beyond these simple examples the concept of a "document" becomes less clear. Is a software program a document? It has lines of language-like text. Is an operating system a document? One can enumerate different types of digital documents and this is necessary because of the need to specify standards in order to achieve efficiency and interoperability. But if one seeks completeness, the process becomes arbitrary and intellectually unsatisfying because it is not clear where the frontier between documents and non-documents should be.
A paper document is distinguished, in part, by the fact that it is on paper. But that aspect, the technological medium, is less helpful with digital documents. An e-mail message and a technical report exist physically in a digital environment as a string of bits, but so does everything else in a physical environment. "Multimedia," which used to denote multiple, physically-different media, is now of renewed interest, because, ironically, the multiple media can be reduced to the mono-medium of electronically stored bits.
