- About the DITA specification: All-inclusive edition
The all-inclusive edition of the DITA specification is the largest edition. It is designed for implementers who want all OASIS-approved specializations, as well as users who develop learning and training materials.
- Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT, "RECOMMEND", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119].
- Normative references
- Non-normative references
Non-normative references are references to external documents or resources that implementers of DITA might find useful.
- Formatting conventions in the XHTML version of the specification
Given the size and complexity of the specification, it is not generated as a single XHTML file. Instead, each DITA topic is rendered as a separate XHTML file. The XHTML version of the specification uses certain formatting conventions to aid readers in navigating through the specification and locating material easily: Link previews and navigation links.
