DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture)

1 day

A new standard for technical documentation

DITA is an XML-based information architecture that is specifically designed for technical documentation. Outstanding features, especially the topic-oriented approach, distinguish DITA from comparable architectures, such as DocBook.

For more than six years, Comet has used DITA successfully for manuals, training materials, and online helps. You can also benefit from our practical experience as the first DITA professionals..
