Inhalt

This workshop is designed to make structured content—and the DITA standard—less intimidating for beginners. We’ll start with a quick introduction, then dive into hands-on exercises focused on the four key principles of structured content: a) modularity, b) topic typing, c) reuse options, d) metadata.

Throughout the session, you’ll create your own structured content set using examples from your existing manuals or standard procedure documents. Please bring 5–11 pages of printed material (single-sided) along with a cover page—this will serve as the foundation for your DITA information model.

A laptop isn’t required, but if you’d like to bring one, make sure to have a digital copy of your content ready to go.

Das lernen Sie

The participants will grasp the importance of each key principle and learn how to design structured content with the DITA standard. 

Vorkenntnisse

None but people should bring a sample of their content, so the workshop is aimed at technical writers/information developers.
