Re: DITA in Lenya

Hi ! Welcome on Lenya ! 

Thank for this REALLY INTERESTING format. I don't know it before, and I
find underlying ideas very goods ! 

--------------------------
During my reading of wiki documentation, I find that : 
"Future versions of HTML may support deeper transclusion of portions of
documents using XML technologies such as entities, XPointer document
referencing, and XSLT manipulations. (XPointer is patent-encumbered.)"

- So, for you, what is the main advantage of the DITA format in front of
possibilities offer by other html,xhtml,... format ? 

- What kind of usecase do you imagine for the DITA/Lenya couple ?

---------------------------
Some interesting things I find during my "clic and read session" :

* An example of DITA more "sweet" than the specification : 
http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/doc/ot-userguide131/ditaotug131-18042007-garage.zip

* If I well understand the DITA Open Toolkit is a DITA processor that allow
to transform dita content into another format (pdf, html,...). The good
news are : 
- This implementation is open-source
- in java
- seems to be active
- have an apache licenced release !
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot/files/)

* don't find open source server editor for DITA (I think of a "funny-clic
editor for my mother" of course)...

If you have another example, simple tutorial, cool information,... I will
be glad to read them.

have a good day.
