When you’re putting together a style sheet, it’s like being a curator in an art gallery.

A curator doesn’t just take whatever paintings come through the door first, and an editor can’t build a style sheet from whatever terms happen to get used first. You have to be proactive and make thoughtful decisions. Words that may seem to be interchangeable… often aren’t.

I knew that, at the end of this conference session, I had five minutes to tell people how to automate their style sheets with PerfectIt. I also knew that it wouldn’t be enough.
