Down the Rabbit Hole: Getting Started with the DITA Open Toolkit

In this hands-on session, attendees learn the basics of the DITA Open Toolkit. After installing the toolkit and verifying that the installation works to produce default (ugly) output, attendees will have an opportunity to modify HTML output to produce something more attractive. Techniques will include modifying CSS, modifying XSLT, and understanding the Open Toolkit’s overall architecture.

All attendees should bring a laptop with a favorite text or XML editor installed.

[Suggestion: complete this workshop if you also plan to participate in Getting Started with PDF Publishing from the DITA Open Toolkit.]
