DITA XML training: Content reuse in DITA 1.3

Ansys® in France is writing technical documentation in DITA XML. The team of technical writers is very familiar with DITA 1.2 and reuses content on topic and fragment level. Version 1.3 of DITA supports more advanced levels of content reuse.

Ansys® wanted to train its technical writers to get a better understanding of the advanced DITA 1.3 reuse mechanisms in order to improve productivity and quality of the contents delivered to customers.

In a two-day training session, parson’s DITA experts introduced the technical writers of Ansys® to the content reuse features of DITA 1.3. We conducted the training as web sessions and provided self-learning exercises.
