DITA For Publishers

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 ("pubmap"), topic types ("article", "chapter", "subsection", "sidebar"), and domains ("formatting domain", "classification domain").
• Providing DITA Open Toolkit plugins with basic HTML and PDF rendering support for the specializations.
• Providing tutorial and how-to guidance to Publishing users of DITA
• 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.
