Key Features

WYSIWYG DITA XML Editing

Easily Edit Content in WYSIWYG Mode

Authors create and edit DITA-compliant content regardless of their DITA or XML knowledge. As easy-to-use as a word or text processing application the complexities of the underlying markup are hidden. Experts are given the option to work within the XML view to access the code, structure, tags, attributes and elements.

Robust Editing Capabilities

Rich editing functionality, includes; selection handling, copy-paste operations, context-sensitive menus, cursor movement, shortcut element creation and more.

XSL/CSS Configuration

Configure the DITA editing area using XSL and CSS to enable content to appear close to the final presentation. The intelligent XSL processor defines how elements are rendered in the editing area. Updating the XSL template customizes the content representation, allowing users to tailor the editing environment to their specific needs.
