Review on Sirius DITA by Ivan Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy & Fast way converting HTML pages

As mentioned above, it was very easy installing this version even without any previous experience about using an XMl editor as MS Word or another program like Open Office etc..It allowed me also easily manage many elements within my web site documentations by adding images and other kind documents (also notepad), links or pdf files inside each element's properties page viewable after editing them online through its interface! I've used some time ago older versions but never again!! We were looking forward at implementing all our project workflows via usefullness/documents automation tools so this option did exactly what we wanted. I am always working alone now since i'm managing several websites under multiple domain names; therefore sometimes creating manual templates are really tiresome when having too much texts involved into your projects descriptions /etc... So doing such process thru MicrosoftWord would be quite challenging if you have no prior experiences regarding how works those programs internally! The fact that you can easily modify templates and layouts and also the fact that you can easily export the content to Word, PDF and other formats. I had to use DITA to write a tutorial for a customer. The customer wanted to have a DITA file of the tutorial so that he could use the content in other documents. It was not possible to do it with Word. I used the export feature of the DITA Viewer to export the DITA file to a Word document.
