Inhalt

To effectively use structured authoring, writers must understand the structure definition or schema. Although these structures are often defined by some standard, such as DITA or DocBook, understanding the design strategies behind the standard can help writers more effectively follow the standard. In this workshop, participants will use Legos to create their own structure definitions and explore the implications of the rules they define.

Effective structured authoring requires the following:
