Re: Where to download DITA?

["Bob Doyle" <bobdoyle -at- skybuilders -dot- com>]

Hi Michael,

DITA is an XML standard. A number of DITA authoring tools are available,
from free to several hundred dollars.

The standard is maintained by OASIS, who manage XML.org
See http://dita.xml.org.

Over fifty DITA Tools are described at http://www.ditanews.com/tools/

Our DITA Users organization provides about 550 members around the world with
their own online workspace folder, a web-based DITA WYSIWYG editor, and a
server-based DITA Open Toolkit that lets you author topics and publish to
web (HTML), print (PDF), and Help (Eclipse).
http://www.ditausers.org

You can also download the free DITA OT from SourceForge and do it all
yourself with any editor.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=132728

If you are member of STC, we will have a special issue of STC Intercom
magazine devoted to DITA. It will be the April issue, out in a couple of
weeks.

Cheers.

Bob
