What is DITA?
Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML-based open standard for structuring, developing, managing, and publishing content. It is specifically designed to facilitate the creation of reusable and modular content pieces, known as topics, which can be assembled in various ways to produce tailored and coherent documents for different outputs and audiences. DITA supports a wide range of publishing formats, including PDF, HTML, and online help systems, making it highly versatile for technical documentation, user guides, and other complex documentation needs. DITA architecture enables organizations to improve efficiency, consistency, and quality in their documentation processes through topic-based authoring and content reuse.​
