Adobe DITA
About Adobe DITA
The
Structured Application defines the structure and formatting rules that
are enforced when creating your document. The Darwin Information Typing
Architecture (DITA) is an open XML standard for structured authoring.
When authoring in DITA, you can also use the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT)
to publish output.
Why is Adobe DITA important?
The
role of the structured template grows in importance, as documents were
being migrated from unstructured FrameMaker into DITA.
DITA provides
architectural capabilities to create modular, reusable content to allow
for control, speed, and streamlined processes across teams. However,
most organizations use some sort of specialized form of DITA for
creating and editing their documents.
