This article will describe the use of Compendium-TA and the internal scripts and processes we use at Compendium Developments for creating all the news information on this site.

The news at Compendium Developments is divided into a number of categories. The most recent items from the WebWatch category are shown on the front page, all other items are stored in category archives and an rss feed is generated for all the most recent items across all categories.

This document is supported by the entity definition files used, and all mentioned scripts. You should feel free to customise any of these for your own use, or use the supplied files directly.

This article will describe the conversion of Compendium-TA graphs into SVG format and the use of the free OpenOffice tools to do so.

Tips covered include: Compendium-TA graphs should all have the fonts set correctly before exporting, and the OpenOffice scaling should be from the context menu instead of resizing with drag
