Steps to Migrating Existing Content to DITA

Steps:

  1. Audit your existing content (e.g., manuals, guides) and break it into reusable chunks (topics).
  2. Identify duplicative or redundant content to reuse.
  3. Transform your content into the DITA XML format with utilities such as DITA Migration Tools or oXygen XML Editor.
  4. Make a DITA Map to link and organize your topics hierarchically.

Tools: oXygen XML, XMetaL, or Adobe FrameMaker.
