What is a .DITA file?
DITA is an XML topic for technical documentation. An OASIS standard.
- Did you know
- DITA lets technical writers reuse small topics across many manuals.
- DITA was created at IBM to cut documentation duplication, then handed to the OASIS standards body to maintain.
- Its “Darwin” name nods to evolution - topics can specialise from base types much as species inherit and adapt.
- What Analyser shows you
- Open lightweight document and markup formats as selectable page previews: Rich Text Format (RTF, control words stripped to readable prose), AbiWord (ABW), FictionBook e-books (FB2), Hangul HWPX, and MHTML web archives (the saved HTML rendered with scripts removed), plus markup and typesetting source - DITA, TEI, JATS journal XML, reStructuredText, AsciiDoc, Org-mode, Textile, TeX/LaTeX and BibTeX - shown with every page selectable and copyable. Also opens the small sidecar files unpacked from 3MF and OOXML bundles: OPC relationship XML (.rels) and MD5 checksum text (.md5).
- Open a .DITA file
- Drag a .DITA file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
