From Eliot Kimber's XML 2007 Lightning Round Presentation: "DITA's specialization mechanism both enables sophisticated generic processing and effectively demands that tools provide it. That is, when presented with valid, conforming DITA documents, tools should "just work," applying all appropriate default DITA processing and behavior without any up-front configuration (with the possible exception of specifying the entity resolution catalog needed to resolve references to DTDs and schemas). Not many tools beyond the DITA Open Toolkit actually do just work. RSuite does.

DITA-OT1.4 vs Framemaker8.0 : un parcours de débutant
Blog entry: Submitted by kero on Wed, 2007-12-19 13:29. Last updated on Wed, 2007-12-19 17:50.
J'ai commencé quelques didacticiels et visité FM7 et FM8, très peu, juste assez pour que je me concentre sur le contenu structuré. Il ya les composantes ouvertes qui concurencent FM mais c'est pas mal de taponnage à faire rouler. Saxon, OT1.4, FO, ,Java, Ant, RenderX, etc. Je jouais déjà avec ces outils avant, heureusement. Bref, je me suis plus orienté avec le open source et/ou les évaluations (FO- FOP).
Art of the short description
Resource: Submitted by Kristen Eberlein on Wed, 2007-12-19 00:17. Last updated on Mon, 2009-06-15 14:08.
The short description is an optional element in DITA, but it has powerful usability implications. Carefully-written short descriptions can help readers more successfully navigate information and locate topics that answer their questions. In addition, the act of crafting careful short descriptions can help writers clarify their understanding of the technical content. This session will cover how the content of the <shortdesc> element is displayed in various forms of output, such as PDF, Eclipse-based help, and Microsoft HTML Help.

Searching in Web-Based Help
Blog entry: Submitted by tself on Sat, 2007-12-15 03:58.
When a DITA information set is transformed into a book, the deliverable is a self-contained. Its navigation devices (page numbers, TOC, index, cross-references) are constructed from the DITA source. Likewise, when a compiled Help deliverable is created, the navigation is constructed. However, a compiled Help file is typically read in a viewing program that allows full text searching; that form of navigation is provided by the viewing engine, and is not derived from the DITA source.
