[?] A word about DITA

Show all headers | View raw

Hi people out there,

I was just wondering if there already use to be experiments for literate  
programming using DITA (*) tool chain, editor and transformations. Seems  
to be this would be the best of all candidate for reusing existing tools  
chain and editors for the specific purpose of literate programming. May be  
more relevant than attempts I heard about, which were to reuse Office like  
editors. What make me believe that, is 1) XML based and editors allowing  
preformated text area 2) the way DITA compose a whole document or  
documents set via assembly of numerous parts. Tangling could be a special  
publication target.

(*) I mean the Darwin Information Typing Architecture.
