That "thing" is the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA OT). The DITA OT is the most common way to convert DITA content into output. The output from the DITA OT is just about as ordinary as it gets.

Abstract Reuse
Forum topic: Submitted by Phil_Rob on Tue, 2009-01-27 20:17.
I am relatively new to DITA but a very old hand at xml/sgml.
Technically, I am creating a dita bookmap which includes a bookabstract. I would like to create the topic for the bookabstract by (in part) reusing all of the associated chapter topic abstracts. However, I can not see a way of using a conref for multiple abstracts out of context.
Practically, I just want to be able to pull all of my abstracts into an introduction for the book.
Am I using the wrong strategy for reuse? Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks.

Training ClassDITA Metrics: Cost Metrics
Resource: Submitted by Mark_Lewis on Thu, 2009-01-22 03:31.
This white paper is the first in the DITA Metrics series. The series will discuss cost metrics, reuse metrics, and a reuse strategy. This paper is the first in the DITA Metrics series. It describes one model for calculating the cost of a DITA project. After doing some content analysis on your own documentation set, you can customize this cost model to suit your documentation project needs. In the end, you should be able to speak the financial language of managers and prove to them in dollar signs the value of moving to DITA.
