Hi Joep,

Thanks, but that's just copy/paste (almost) from jalliblog. I hope to
provide a tutorial book included with the next release. These can also be
included in intro document.

HTML output is very basic (but clean), but some CSS should give a nice
result. I need to check this by copy/paste HTML content as a webpage on our
justanotherlanguage.org website.

Content isn't the same for PDF & HTML too, authorship information &
copyrights are missing for instance. Still to figure out why...

What do you mean ? Can I help ?

I found two interesting things doing this tutorial book:

  - You can define an XML element with a "conref" attribute, meaning
"content reference", that points to a particular file + particular XML
element within this XML file. Ex: conref="license.xml#topicid/licenseid"
points to the specific licence content in license.xml file. Just as if you
were calling a procedure... This is important because (1) DITA allows to
assemble different contents into different books using ditamap -- from an
"external" point of view -- and (2) you can retrieve some content from other
XML files within a DITA file -- from "internal" -- (I hope you see what I
mean). You don't have to split content in many many files: just put some ID
and refer to them on other documents.

  - I found Syntext Serna XML editor (http://www.syntext.com/products/serna/)
being very powerful and useful to edit DITA files. It includes DITA toolkit
(1.4, while I'm using 1.5, but that's OK), so you can directly
Ctrl-P(ublish) to see the results, provided you've correctly setup
JAVA_HOME. I'll write some documentation (some more...) about how to setup
DITA environment/editor.



Cheers,
Seb
