The Publishing for DITA workshop provides attendees with a hands-on walk-through of the essential DITA fundamentals, programming skills, and DITA Open Toolkit configurations required to style and publish DITA to PDF.

After a brief overview of the DITA framework, course lectures and exercises focus on the key pieces of a DITA publishing architecture, how to set it up, and how to optimize its publishing capabilities using customizations and plug-ins. Attendees learn to set up a publishing architecture using the pipeline provided by the DITA-OT and how to configure and debug the DITA-OT.
