Many people feel that they must adhere to the "standard" definition of DITA. While this can be the best route in some instances, there are tremendous advantages in DITA Specialization, which can automate a variety of tasks associated with document structure and formatting. Benefits of DITA Specialization can be magnified by the number of target languages that you translate into. This 2-part series will cover first the strategy and planning phases, then show actual live examples of DITA Customization.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Session 1) Modeling DITA Specialization<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><span style='color:#1F497D'>In this session, we examine the process of analyzing your DITA needs and determining where specialization is most appropriate and potentially the most powerful.
