DITA conversion, migration & transformation — the complete guide library
The three questions every team asks
Use the library in three passes. Start with the pillar guide for your question: converting a source into clean, valid DITA, running a DITA migration as a project, or transforming DITA into and out of other formats. Then open the guide for your specific source format below. Before you brief suppliers, read the planning guides on the migration checklist, cost drivers and vendor questions. When you want to see the output on your own documents, send us 25 pages for a free sample.
