Implementation of DITA strategies

DITA

Module based product documentation

Ready for Module based information

DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) is a method of writing and storing content using a set of structuring rules that tell machines how to interpret that content. It’s essentially a system of tags and maps that allow you to navigate through your content more easily.

You will break up the documentation into modular information topics, such as Task, Concept, Reference and troubleshooting

Pros of DITA

  • Content created in DITA can be pushed out to many different formats, such as RTF, PowerPoint, HTML, PDF and mobile, without having to duplicate the content.
  • Technical writers have far more control over quality when using modular topics, which eliminates the worry of slight deviations in repeated content.
  • With far less unique text to sort through, translating is much more efficient.
