Hi, I'm a tech writer and a new user of DITA. My company says that I can use any DITA editor I want and will buy me an editor (such as Arbortext) if I so choose. I'm wondering whether any of you have any feedback to give me on Arbortext vs. other DITA editors for creating on-line or Web-based Help. I know that JoAnn Hackos promotes the use of Arbortext, given that her new book on DITA uses Arbortext examples throughout.

Related to this, I would like to get a book on DITA, hopefully something akin to a user's guide. (The information I've found on the Web doesn't help me do the tasks I need to do.) The two books I'm considering are the Hackos book (which, as I wrote, focuses on Arbortext) or the book by Linton and Bruski, which I believe is more general.

Thanks in advance for your help.
