[dita-users] examples of documentation developed with DITA?
Hi Jiri, I've been told that the Adobe CS2 documentation (a.k.a. "the Adobe Help Center") has been written with the DITA model. If you want to see this, you can download a trial version of, say, Adobe InDesign CS2. If you install Adobe InDesign CS2, you will also have the Adobe Help Center. You can download a trial version of InDesign CS2 here: http://www.adobe.com/products/tryadobe/main.jsp#product=31 In the Adobe Help Center, you will clearly see the topic structure, and this "chunking mechanism" is what I like about this Help. What I miss, however, is "See also" or "Related Topics" links. For example, you can read a concept topic, but it would have been nice if there had been some links to related task topics. It has been done in some topics, but not enough. In the Adobe Help Center, each topic is a new (HTML) page. In Help written according to the Information Mapping (IMAP) model, you would have a couple of topics ("blocks") collected into a "map" and a map is a new HTML page. You can see an example of this here: http://www.certifiedpdf.net/gotohelp Best regards Yves Barbion Technical Writer Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor U&I Learning NV (formerly ATEK NV) Molenaarsstraat 111 B-9000 Gent Belgium Tel.: +32 9 265 74 72 Fax: +32 9 265 74 84 www.uni-learning.com > >
