Fonto Installation


Prerequisites:

Fonto integrates seamlessly with the Ingeniux CMS platform, displaying directly within the CMS Assets Manager as an integrated tab for DITA assets.

Before using Fonto, the application requires installation and setup. This includes installing the application on the CMS server and creating a custom tab within the CMS.

Once Fonto is successfully installed and configured, this streamlined integration will enable users to edit DITA content within the CMS without having to switch between different applications. Users can leverage the editor to create, edit, and manage DITA content within the CMS platform.
