Subject:   DITA version 1.1.2 toolkit update

The DITA team at IBM has released an updated version of the DITA toolkit as a download from the developerWorks XML Zone. This version, packaged as an archive file called dita12.zip, represents the culmination of the past year's testing and implementation of the DTDs in IBM's internal authoring and production workbench.

You can access this updated toolkit by visiting DITA's "home page" on developerworks (http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-dita1/index.html) and finding the Resource link, "Download the latest DITA DTDs, style sheets, and sample documents."

Highlights of this distribution include:

The DITA Language Reference, a PDF description of DITA elements, attributes, valid contexts, and examples. At last!
The latest version 1.1.2 DTDs (version 1.1.1 was an internal version used last year for testing, and subsequently updated)
A new XML Schema instance of the DITA specialization architecture
Demonstrations of specializations for FAQ and element reference info-types
Demonstrations of map-driven "delivery contexts" for aggregated topics and Eclipse helpsets
XSLT transform updates:
- Consistent usage of a shell interface mirroring the DTD structures
- Documentation of processing parameters and transform tweaks
- Bug fixes
CSS updates:
- Consistent usage of a shell interface mirroring the DTD structures
- Provision of a specialization-enabled stylesheet that directly supports new specializations

For the DITA team,
Don Day
