Webinar: DITA and Markdown
DITA is a great choice for writing technical documentation. Ideally, all contributors to a project should use it to provide content. But sometimes, subject matter experts (such as developers, or engineers) prefer to contribute content in another format. We will explore what possibilities arise when this other format is Markdown, a good match for structured authoring cases in which a minimal markup is sufficient.
Some of the topics covered by this webinar include:
Structured authoring
Content and markup
What are DITA's strengths
