Eclipse Help as a Model

Blog entry: Submitted by tself on Mon, 2008-01-14 13:04.

In thinking about what a standalone (as in "not embedded UA")  Help system generated from DITA source should look like, and what features it might have, Eclipse Help keeps cropping up. If a tech writer currently wants to generate an Eclipse Help system for distribution with a locally-installed application, the technical hurdles are quite high. It might not be an issue if the application is Eclipse-based, but it otherwise requires quite some overhead.

Glossary in DITA

Forum topic: Submitted by Radha on Mon, 2008-01-14 09:52. Last updated on Mon, 2008-01-14 10:22.

Hello All,

When I add the glossary and generate a PDF of the BookMap, the glossary term and definition does not appear distinctly. They appear similar to the rest of the content in the document.

Further, if a glossary term has more than one definition, how can we add this to the glossary topic? Should we create separate glossary topics for each such definition?

Can anyone suggest a different way of adding glossary to the BookMap or advise what I could do to rectify this issue?

Regards

Basic DITA Users Membership Now Free

News: Submitted by Bob Doyle on Sat, 2008-01-12 20:21.

It is now one year since we started developing the DITA Users member organization.

We wish you a Happy New Year for 2008! To celebrate we are restoring free memberships in DITA Users!

Since we started charging for new memberships, member growth has slowed. We have added only about 30 new members since October 1, 2007. While we think the annual fee is small considering the benefits, it is obviously not small enough.

When DITA Users Beta membership was free, we grew quickly to nearly 400 members (from 24 countries).
