Stilo International - presentation at the 2014 LavaCon Conference in Portland, Oregon. Scheduled for Tuesday, Oct 14, 10.15-11.15am.
There has been much debate as to the merits of using Word, or Word-like editors, by occasional content contributors to author DITA.
Some may argue that it doesn’t make for a practical proposition, as there is inevitably a trade-off between ease-of-use and the support of a meaningful DITA tagset. Others might be concerned that Word-like editors cannot be sufficiently constrained for use by the occasional contributor who has no knowledge of DITA or its complexities, while template approaches can often prove to be too inflexible for use at the enterprise level.
Drawing on the results of customer research recently undertaken by Stilo, as well as demonstrating latest product developments including AuthorBridge, this presentation will seek to explain how the gatekeepers of enterprise content management systems can ensure that only high-quality DITA is submitted by SMEs, as they continue to use their everyday authoring tools.
