DITA is an XML data model. DTDs are one of many parts of that model and are not required for all DITA documents. https://dita.xml.org http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/DITA1.2-spec.html People commonly don't publish XML. That's a source format and they publish PDF, online help,

No, DITA is not XML. It is a DTD that can be used to create XML documents. It can also be used within a FrameMaker structured application to create structured FM documents that can remain just that, with output to PDF. The DITA EDD within FrameMaker will take care of the paragraph and character

Further to Scott's excellent advice: There are two separate issues here. One is DITA, and the other is structured authoring in FrameMaker. Of these, you should tackle the latter first. DITA is only one of the possible structures that you could use; the important first step is to bring your
