You could argue the same for PTC Arbortext and Frame. The argument could be made that Excel is a programming framework on its own. Let me know if I can clarify anything else.Įxcel doesn't support working in every delimited format, it imports and exports without making the mistake of trying to work natively with all delimited formats. I said nothing about them not being comparable, and in fact mentioned no other editors at all. If you don't use Saxon, you would have to program a processor on your own, which is quite difficult as you might imagine.Īs for your question about Oxygen, yes any of those editors will work just fine, Oxygen is just the one I like and recommend to people. Since DITA is a framework for XML, you need something that takes the content/information you write in XML and turns it into your final outputs, like a website or a pdf. Saxon is software that you use to process XML using XSLT stylesheets. :) So let me just try and rephrase it and add some more detail.įirst, what is Saxon? Saxon is an XSLT processor that is available for you to review here: Or just google "Saxon XSLT processor". Posting of Job Opportunities are not of personal gain, even if OP is involved in the hiring process as its primary purpose is to provide visibility of employment opportunities to this community.Ĭontent from links that would be considered self-promotion are permitted for the purposes of discussion, so long as the content is discussed by copying and pasting a text post, not via the use of a link.Īfter reading your response, I am very confused. This primary personal gain may be in the form of links to direct website traffic hits (such as to personal blogs, and/or product sites), text and/or images with the purpose of advertising services that the OP is involved with, and/or content that is deemed to be misleading to the community.ĭO enhance your text posts, if desired, using links to externally-available documentation, Websites, and other supporting information that helps to explain the text post. "Self-Promotion" is the action of sharing content to this sub-reddit through the use of a link (Any kind of link, regardless if it is a image, or a website/blog/advertisement), or in a text post, that directly benefits the OP for the primary purpose of personal gain. Posting a job opening? Please include at the beginning of your post title. Short, sweet, to the point, and accurate. You probably describe your work to other people as: "I write instructions for a living." Oversimplified? Yes. Possibilities to obtain PDF from DITA.You may publish libraries of papers and manuals but your name will never be on them. There are also a number of different choices to obtain PDF from DITA: You generate WebHelp output using Oxygen, we have a section explaining basic WebHelpįor PDF-based outputs we recommend, support and maintain our CSS-based PDF publishing which is free to use from Oxygen XML Editor. Usually customizing the XHTML based outputs means creating your custom CSS selectors. Resources for customizing the DITA output formats There are also a number of good books like DITA For Practitioners and the DITA The DITA 1.3 standard specification can be found here. If you want to start learning about DITA in general there is a web site called Learning Getting Started with Oxygen and DITA Basic DITA Profiling and Reuse Advanced DITA Profiling and Reuse Working with DITA in Oxygen - Customizing the Editing Experience Working with DITA in Oxygen - Quick start with the DITA Startup Project Working with DITA in Oxygen - Migrating to DITA and Refactoring these webinars above are also listed here.
