Technical documentation is no longer tied to specific software, editors or platforms. Thanks to a standard such as DITA XML (Darwin Information Typing Architecture), you can create modular content that can be reused, filtered and published across multiple channels and formats. DITA is well established among technical writers and information architects, and with the rise of GenAI, its value is being recognised more widely than ever.

But how do you apply this standard in practice? Which information types should you use in different situations? How can you write independently of layout and presentation? How do you combine DITA topics into a DITA map? And what about conditional content?

In this course, you'll learn how to use DITA in a practical way. Prerequisite: Structured Writing.
