Updates for 21 April 2013:
- Reverted back to the HTML2 version of the User Guide as the HTML5
version appears to not work with older IE versions.
The DITA for Publishers project is an open-source, community project to enable the quick and productive use of DITA by Publishers. Enabling activities include:
- Providing generic DITA specializations for common publishing document components, including publishing-specific map types and domains ("pubmap", publication map domain, publication metadata domain), topic types ("article", "chapter", "subsection", "sidebar", "part"), and domains ("formatting domain", "classification domain", etc.).
- General-purpose Open Toolkit plugins for generating EPUB and Kindle
electronic books from any DITA map, as well as an HTML5 generation
plugin.
- Providing DITA Open Toolkit plugins with HTML, PDF, EPUB, and Kindle rendering support for the D4P specializations.
- Providing tutorial and how-to guidance to Publishing users of DITA.
- Providing a transformation framework and Open Toolkit plugin for converting styled Word documents to DITA.
- Providing a transformation framework and Open Toolkit plugin for generating InCopy and InDesign documents from DITA content.
- Host additional DITA-related tools specific to or of significant value to publishers when those tools need a home.
- Provide an open forum for gathering Publishing-specific requirements for the DITA standard and its supporting tools, in anticipating of the eventual formation of a Publishing subcommittee within the DITA Technical Committee.
See the DITA for Publishers User Guide for detailed
information on how to use the DITA for Publishers components. (Experimental HTML5
version available at ../d4p-user-guide-html5/index.html.)
