What is a .DITA file?
DITA is an XML topic for technical documentation. An OASIS standard.
- Did you know
- DITA lets technical writers reuse small topics across many manuals.
- DITA was created at IBM to cut documentation duplication, then handed to the OASIS standards body to maintain.
- Its “Darwin” name nods to evolution - topics can specialise from base types much as species inherit and adapt.
- What Analyser shows you
- Open lightweight document and markup formats as selectable page previews: Rich Text Format (RTF, control words stripped to readable prose), AbiWord (ABW), FictionBook ebooks (FB2), Hangul HWPX, and MHTML web archives (the saved HTML rendered with scripts removed), plus markup and typesetting source - DITA, TEI, JATS journal XML, reStructuredText, AsciiDoc, Org-mode, Textile, TeX/LaTeX and BibTeX - shown with every page selectable and copyable.
- Open a .DITA file
- Drag a .DITA file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
