I want to create a type of task topic that contains an element that the DITA model task topic does not seem to have. My first thought is to start with a task topic and specialize it to contain the new element. But then I read that a specialization must be more restrictive than its parent.  So if I want to add a new element that does not exist in the parent task topic, does that mean I have to create a specialization at the same level as the model DITA task topic instead of as a child of the DITA task topic? 

Hi guys,

        I am working with DITA OT. And I want to creat a DITA OT plugin. But I don't know how to do. Is anyone know how to do this? Or are there some documentations about this?

       In the plugin dir there are some plug-ins, I had read some of the plugin.xml but, I still don't know how to do this.

        Thanks a lot.

 

Hi group

Has anyone used IBM Lotus Quickr for collaborative authoring of DITA content? Does IBM Lotus Quickr support DITA-structured content?

Thanks.

Hi group

I'm looking for comparisons between DITA and S1000D which provide answers to the following questions:

* What are compelling reasons for using S1000D instead of DITA if you're not in the aeroSpace or defence industry?
* What editors and CMSs currently support S1000D?
* Rumour has it that S1000D is more complex than DITA, but how much more complex exactly?
* Are there any DITA2S1000D transformations available somewhere?

Hi-

We have started using ArborText Editor to do web based edits for our content. As part of the testing group, we are trying to figure out if there are any testing tools that we can use to do automated testing for content edits in ArborText.

We are using tools like Selenium. Do you know of any tools that will work with ArborText?

Could you please provide me with some suggestions?

 

Thanks
