Hello, I am using Oxygen Xml editor to write Dita files. I have started writing a new chapter from a book and I have written a dita topic first. how would I be able to view it in the internet explorer or in any other output as a final outcome. Also I would be glad if I can be with some good techniques. Thanks In Advance

Hello, I am new to DITA, well I have worked as a technical writer and is equally passionate to continue; I would like to know how to use DITA; as I have been using WORD to prepare SDLC documents, so to enhance myself more in this profession I am eager to learn how to implement DITA or if I simply say that I want to make a vision document than how DITA will be used. Warm Regards, Omer
publishing javahelp output
I am trying to process javahelp output and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for good tutorials or general advice. I am using Arbortext Editor and Arbortext Publishing Engine to create the DITA bookmaps and create pdf and webhelp output. Unfortunately, Arbortext doesn't support javahelp builds, so I have downloaded the open toolkit and did the practice javahelp build. Any suggestions for hooking up Arbortext stylesheets and dtd files with the open toolkit would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Is it posible to include variable-dynamic data?
I'm thinking to use DITA to generate technical (and safety) data sheet's for chemicals products. This documents are not too much big but there are about 30.000 products and 20 different languages.
Is it possible to include concepts that will be updated on the building process (e.g. color = red, list of ingredients, .... ).
Thanks in advance
DITA Translation Files
I recently submitted a document for language translations. It is composed of 28 DITA files, (references, tasks, etc.). The LSP commented that it was costly to run 28 individual files agains the translation memory and the expense would be less if a single file were given to them for their process.
Is there a better way to do this?
