Practical Uses for DITA - Part 2: Product Documentation and Training
Practical Uses for DITA - Part 1: Service Manual Application
DITA Evolution and the Effect on Content Management Systems
As the Darwin Information Typing Architecutre (DITA) gains wider acceptance as an XML standard for technical documentation, there has been increased activity towards interoperability with other standards, such as S1000D and SCORM, specialization for uses in specific industries, and adaptation for different use cases. Noteworthy is the current effort to adapt DITA for monolithic business documents other than technical documents. This adaptation opens the possibility for techdoc groups to implement DITA without requiring the paradigm shift to topic-based authoring.
publishing javahelp output
I am trying to process javahelp output and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for good tutorials or general advice. I am using Arbortext Editor and Arbortext Publishing Engine to create the DITA bookmaps and create pdf and webhelp output. Unfortunately, Arbortext doesn't support javahelp builds, so I have downloaded the open toolkit and did the practice javahelp build. Any suggestions for hooking up Arbortext stylesheets and dtd files with the open toolkit would be much appreciated. Thanks!
