DITA Support

Like any type of XML, DITA separates content from the presentation layer so that writers can focus on writing the content rather than the “look and feel” of the final product. There are many benefits of separating the content and the presentation layer including:

Multichannel publishing:
The same content can be published in any output type (Web page, CHM file, PDF).
Writers focus on content - not layout
Keep your expert people focused on high value activities.
Localization DTP elimination:
Eliminate the high cost of “desktop publishing” in localization processes, saving up to 20% of your localization budget for more translation.
