Image maps can be defined in DITA, but rather than being content, image maps contain presentational information. (In theory, DITA should only contain content, and not any presentational form information.)
There are a number of concepts and principles of XML mark-up in general, 8 | and DITA mark-up in particular. 9 |
10 |Special characters and dates require different handling than normal 8 | text. 9 |
10 |10 |
11 |DITA includes a range of elements and attributes to manage references in 8 | ditamaps, and to govern the way the references are treated during the 9 | publishing process. 10 |
11 |To best take advantage of content re-use, you should adopt practices to 8 | reduce the impediments, increase the opportunities for re-use, and to make the 9 | process of re-using easier. 10 |
11 |The features and capabilities of content referencing was extended in
7 | DITA 1.2, making it possible to conref multiple elements at the one time, to
8 | indirectly reference content, and to

The software domain elements are designed for documenting the operation 11 | of a software program. 12 |
13 |If a topic is to be included in the output file (eg, a CHM file) it must be nominated in the ditamap. The ditamap is used as the basis for the Table of Contents in many output types. To exclude a topic from the output table of contents, the relevant ditamap topicref must have its
Topics are the building blocks of DITA, and a methodical approach to 11 | topic creation will result in consistent and more effective documents. 12 |
13 |The utilities domain elements are non-semantic elements used in defining 12 | image maps. 13 |
14 |The user interface domain elements are designed for documenting the user 12 | interface of a software program. 13 |
14 |The metadata domain elements are designed for describing index entries 11 | and map-level metadata elements. 12 |
13 |Re-use of content is easier for the author to accomplish if the elements

The elements in the programming domain are designed for documenting 12 | programming languages. 13 |
14 |ditamap is not a term; it is just a normal word. The exception is when 10 | it is being defined. Avoid starting a sentence with ditamap. 11 |
12 |conref is not a term; it is just a normal word. The exception is when it 13 | is being defined. Avoid starting a sentence with conref. 14 |
15 |If you need to create Microsoft Visual Studio Help 2 output, the best 7 | approach is to create an HTML Help (.chm) file through the DITA Open Toolkit 8 | normally, and then use a tool such as HelpWare FAR to convert the .chm file to 9 | .hxs format. 10 |
11 |A footnote must exist in a paragraph, as it is an inline element, not a 11 | block element. 12 |

10 |Another interesting difference is that DITA allows other information
11 | types to be defined through

Topic-level content reuse is simple to understand. 9 |
10 |A ditamap is an ingredient list of a collection. More than one ditamap 11 | can reference the same topic. 12 |
13 |So if you have a repository of DITA content topics covering how to use a 14 | range of cameras from the same manufacturer, we could create a ditamap for the 15 | Model 400 User Guide, another ditamap for the 16 | Model 700 User Guide, and another for the 17 | Model 700 Administrator's Guide. Some topics might be common 18 | to all ditamaps, while others might be unique to one. 19 |

24 |If you find that you are deliberately coding your DITA topics in such a 14 | way as to achieve a particular output effect, you are without doubt taking the 15 | wrong path. DITA topics must be delivery-agnostic; they must be free of as much 16 | context (how the information is going to be used, presented or sequenced) as 17 | possible. 18 |
19 |A common form of documentation is Application Programming Interface (API) documentation. This involves documenting the functions of a shared programming library, and allows developers to re-use common programming functions. The information structure of an API function may be:
A specialised reference information types should be used for this sort of information structure. Some such specialised information types are available publicly, and are suited for particular programming languages. For example, the is a Java API information type available from the DITA Open Toolkit area on SourceForge.

Avoid including transitional text in topics. 10 |
11 |Transitional text is text that leads the reader to a following topic, or
12 | connects the topic to a previous topic. Examples of transitional text include:
13 | As we saw previously...
and
14 | This processed is explained later...
. In DITA, topics should be
15 | designed to be context-agnostic, so that a topic can be re-used in different
16 | publications or outputs, in different sequences. Transitional text reduces
17 | re-use opportunities.
18 |
20 |
Task topics are used to document the steps of a particular task or procedure, 14 | or to document the stages within a high level process. Task topics are the building 15 | blocks for task-oriented documentation. Task topics are more strictly structured than 16 | concept and reference topics.
17 |Task topics address the question of how to?

35 |In XML document mark-up languages, including DITA and XHTML, there are 17 | typically two types of content mark-up elements: block (or paragraph) elements, 18 | and phrase (or inline) elements. 19 |
20 |Phrases are spans of text within a larger block of text, such as words
21 | within a paragraph. Typical phrase elements are term (
Blocks are paragraph-like elements, which are normally displayed with
26 | spacing above and below the block. Typical block elements are paragraph
27 | (
Line breaks are formatting constructs, so in general, DITA mark-up 13 | doesn't provide for them. However, it's not quite so clear cut. Despite working 14 | to the ideal that content should be separated from form, DITA does provide for 15 | a good deal of form mark-up. 16 |
17 |Table column widths can be specified in DITA, even though that's form. 18 | Image sizes can be specified in DITA, and that too is form. 19 |
20 |It is possible to use these loopholes in the separation of content and 21 | form to make possible things such as line breaks in titles. For example, a 22 | workaround is to place a one pixel by one pixel image within the title, and set 23 | the image element's placement attribute to break. This will cause, in most 24 | outputs, the title to be displayed with text before the image displayed on a 25 | different line to text following. 26 |
27 |You must avoid the temptation to use such workarounds 28 | in an attempt to introduce form into DITA content. 29 |

33 |DITA can be described as an approach to information architecture. That's 16 | why there's an A for Architecture in DITA! 17 |
18 |A great definition of architecture in the DITA context can be found in
19 | the book
20 | DITA 101:
21 |
This definition is great because it highlights the facts that: 27 |
When a team of authors is working on the same collection of topics,
18 | particularly when the collection is very large, it is sometimes difficult to
19 | identify a problem with the build. For example, a topic referenced in the

Some information architects provide each author with a ditamap of that 24 | author's topics. Before the author submits the final set of topics, the ditamap 25 | must successfully and cleanly build as a unit. The author's ditamap can be 26 | discarded after testing if it is not otherwise used for publishing. 27 |
28 |This unit testing approach allows any issues to be addressed in a 29 | smaller, quicker to build, environment. 30 |

Some writers object to the default processing of something like: 20 |

26 |because they feel the number is unwarranted or confusing. 28 |
29 |However, the semantics of the DITA source should always be observed over
30 | any preference in output format. The output processing should be changed if the
31 | output needs to be different (in our case, represented as a bulleted item
32 | instead of a numbered item). The DITA source shouldn't be corrupted or
33 | bent
to achieve a certain output result.

In DITA, each topic is written as a standalone chunk of content. The 15 | style in which a topic title, for example, is eventually presented to the user 16 | is determined by the position of the topic in the relevant ditamap. 17 |
18 |For example, if a topic called

is located at:

If that same topic is re-used in a different ditamap, located at:

33 |When using filtering in single-sourcing, you must be careful to ensure 16 | that a conditional processing rule doesn't result in invalid DITA. Filtering 17 | must not result in a required element being removed during processing. 18 |
19 |For example, in the following snippet, if a condition of

was set, there would be no

17 | business metadata rules, and effective use of conditional metadata attributes.

The hierarchy of topic references in the ditamap controls not only the 19 | sequence of topics in the output and/or the TOC, but also influences 20 | automatically-generated navigation links and generated summary content in 21 | parent topics in some output formats. 22 |
23 |DITA permits you to adjust the basis on which the automatic navigation

Which collection type to use is dependent on the nature of the content. 29 | However, if in doubt, leave the default, which provides links to any child 30 | topics, and a link back from child to parent. This ensures that all topics in a 31 | hypertext output such as HTML can be traversed using links alone. 32 |
33 |One of the most powerful features of DITA is the automatic generation of 19 | cross-reference links in the output. This feature allows greater content 20 | re-use, as it removes linking context from topics and moves it to the map. 21 |
22 |Cross-reference links at the bottom of output topics are generated by

17 |If you need to re-use content from a bookmap inside a 18 | ditamap, then a lower-level ditamap should be nested in the bookmap, and that 19 | lower level ditamap re-used in the main ditamap.

The process of creating, producing and delivering a document in DITA's 15 | modular, structured authoring environment can be divided into three different 16 | stages: 17 |
7 |
I'd suggest that our approach to style policies should consist of 16 | selectors and properties. In essence, a policy file should be able to attach 17 | any style or layout property (including an exclude or hide property) to any 18 | content fragment. The selectors should be CSS-like matches on inherited class, 19 | instance identifier, token value, or nesting of the above. The goal should be 20 | to put policy decisions in the hands of the broad audience that wouldn't be 21 | successful with XSLT. (Because XSLT is always available as a general fallback, 22 | style policies can provide a purely declarative set of selectors and properties 23 | rather than executable flow and expressions.) To produce books from bookmaps, 24 | the set of properties will need properties like page break and so on. A bit 25 | more on the thought: 26 | http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/200409/msg00022.html 27 |
28 |Paul's note below highlights the convergence of this approach with 29 | DITA conditional values, which also provide a system of selectors and 30 | properties. In a perfect world, existing DITA values files would remain valid 31 | instances of the more general style policies format. A transform might be 32 | acceptable. 33 |

The reason for this, and a point that should always be considered when 28 | deciding on a filtering strategy, is the reduced processing load during 29 | generation of the output. If the processor has to read in a topic, or a nested 30 | map, only to find it's not needed in the current build because of the filtering 31 | metadata, it is an inefficient model. It is much better for the exclusion to be 32 | notified to the processor before having to load the file. 33 |
34 |Examples of programming, scripting, or mark-up language code are marked

Code block elements can be nested inside a paragraph (or other block 24 | element). 25 |

Embedded links create a dependency upon the linked topics; the topic can 25 | only make sense if the target topics for each of the links it are delivered 26 | alongside it. If a target topic is not included in the same collection as the 27 | topic, then the link will be broken. 28 |

DITA's features include: 13 |
The intention of the DITA approach is that the elements most commonly 17 | cross-referenced, such as topics, sections, figures and tables, should have a 18 | title. In some cases, the title element is mandatory. 19 |
20 |Even though the DITA DTD may technically allow 21 | multiple titles to exist in one section, you should limit your section content 22 | to one title. Do not use titles as though they are headings. If you need 23 | multiple headings in a section, chances are that you really need multiple 24 | sections. 25 |
26 |Modularity is the technique of building large complex things in smaller, 16 | self-contained pieces. Modular furniture is a good example of modularity in 17 | practice.

An old OASIS News story from 2002, titled
7 | The Holy Grail of Content Reuse: IBM's DITA XML,
8 |
DITA design focuses upon the "topic" as a conceptual unit of 14 | authoring. Larger documents can be created by aggregating topic units. A 15 | "content referencing" (conref) mechanism may be used at the mark-up level to 16 | combine several topics into a single document, or to share content among 17 | topics. 18 |
19 |The DITA design has a unified content reuse mechanism by which an 20 | element can replace itself with the content of a like element elsewhere, either 21 | in the current topic or in a separate topic that shares the same content 22 | models. The distinction between reusable content and reusing content, which is 23 | enshrined in the file entity scheme, disappears: Any element with an ID, in any 24 | DITA topic, is reusable by conref. 25 |
26 |DITA's conref 'transclusion' mechanism is similar to the SGML conref 27 | mechanism, which uses an empty element as a reference to a complete element 28 | elsewhere. However, DITA requires that at least a minimal content model for the 29 | referencing element be present, and performs checks during processing to ensure 30 | that the replacement element is valid in its new context. This mechanism goes 31 | beyond standard XInclude, in that content can be incorporated only when it is 32 | equivalent: If there is a mismatch between the reusing and reused element 33 | types, the conref is not resolved. It also goes beyond standard entity reuse, 34 | in that it allows the reused content to be in a valid XML file with a DTD. The 35 | net result is that reused content gets validated at authoring time, rather than 36 | at reuse time, catching problems at their source. 37 |
38 |The

Including child elements in titles therefore reduces the opportunities 26 | for re-use, increases the risk of a transformation error caused by 27 | mis-interpretation of the mark-up, and complicates what should be a simple 28 | semantic element. 29 |
