Simon Bate / Webinars2 Comments

In this webcast, Simon Bate provides a “gentle introduction” to the DITA Open Toolkit (OT), the standard way to generate deliverables from DITA documents. This presentation shows how anyone can install the OT. A tour of the contents and how the plugin architecture works is included.

Involved in TechComm all my working life (since the time of vacuum tubes, core memory, punch cards, and bone implements). I've worked as a writer, a manager, and—for the past score of years—building software tools for TechComm. My motto is "Let the computer do the work." Outside of work, I balance the calories I create and consume in the kitchen with weight-training sessions at the gym. I also sing Tenor in various choirs and choruses.

    A very good tour and useful information. Towards the latter half of the presentation, the audio is not in sync with the visual – the visual appears to be a good couple of minutes behind the audio. This makes it hard to follow the navigation into the directories and files when talking about implementing your own plug-in solutions. Truly noticeable any time after the 38-minute mark.

    I agree with Scott’s comment. Still, if you have the toolkit installed then it is a useful walk-through.
