DITA Users need not install anything or know XML to begin topic-based structured writing today. They use the browser-based DITA Storm editor or the desktop <oXygen/> XML editor with WebDAV access to author structured content in an online workspace folder.
A modest investment will help develop skills transferable 
to top DITA XML Editors and XML Content Management Systems
(the site has extensive software listings in the Tools A-Z section).

Member fees  support a network of DITA resource sites -
DITA News, DITA Infocenter, DITA Wiki, a monthly DITA Newsletter,
  - plus tutorials and articles.
