The unique feature of DITAworks resides in its comprehensive modeling functions that allow project specific documentation models (DITA Specializations). Even complex modeling tasks can be performed easily with the help of visual editors and wizards. The existing specializations can be imported and thereby validated. The model can be changed in later project phases also like during content creation because of re-factoring functions provided by DITAworks. The definitions of the model are carried through for subsequent tasks.

DITAworks helps to develop and manage structured documentation like product descriptions, training materials, process documentation, user manuals and online helps. Re-use of content according to single source principles is stimulated by smart implementation of DITA specific possibilities (topics, variables, conrefs).  

• DITAworks enables Technical Editors to keep the overview while creating complex content based on topic-oriented approach.
• Comprehensive search and filter functions deliver fitting content in relevant working context.
• Comfortable link management and preview functions, wizards for object creating, XML and WYSIWYG editors improve effectiveness of editorial work.
• Map editors serve for planning and creating documentation deliverables.

Thanks to seamless integration of DITA Open Toolkit in DITAworks, it can publish documentation in various formats by the click of a button (XHTML, PDF, RTF, EclipseHelp, JavaHelp, troff, DocBook).
