Coming in 2012
The DITA XML standard is growing quickly and gaining acceptance in a wide variety of applications. With this growth has come the need for clear, comprehensive publications for authors, content strategists, tools builders, and managers.
To address this need, XML Press is developing a series of publications around DITA. Authored by recognized authorities, who have been using DITA as long as it has existed, the DITA Series will provide the most comprehensive coverage of the DITA standard available.
In keeping with XML Press’s commitment to using the tools we write about, the DITA series will be authored using the DITA 1.2 standard, and produced using widely available tools.
Here are the publications currently under development:
| Title | Author | Pub. Date | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| DITA for Practitioners | Eliot Kimber | Available Now | Volume 1 of Eliot Kimber’s comprehensive guide to DITA for implementors. |
| Authoring with DITA | Anindita Basu | Mid-year, 2012 | A guide for technical communicators. |
| Customizing the DITA Open Toolkit for Print | Leigh White | Fall, 2012 | A tutorial introduction to the DITA Open Toolkit FO/PDF stylesheets. |
| The DITA Reference | TBA | TBD | A comprehensive reference for the DITA 1.2 standard. |
