The DITA Caper
Presentations for The Summer XML 2009 Conference (Raleigh NC, July 2009)
The Summer XML Conference presentations were carefully selected to be highly technical, marketing fluff free, and presented by real users and technology experts. Presentations are set up in 3 tracks, with keynotes each day. Here is what you can expect.
- Keynote: Survivor: XML (Leigh W. White, Allscripts)
- Introduction to XSLT Concepts (Debbie Lapeyre, Mulberry Technologies)
- Introduction to DITA (Kristen James Eberlein, IBM)
- Ex-XHTML HTML (Doug Schepers, W3C)

DITA-OT1.5 M15 (Feature Request ID: 2698921)
Thanks to Robert Anderson (Feature Request ID: 2698921) you can now add attributes to the body tag in HTML output.
I wanted to use the http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/ code highlighter and was able to get the script calls in using args.hdf/hdr, and use outputclass=prettyprint into the codeblock tag. The last thing was to modify the body tag to run the script when the page loaded. I modified the XSL to make it conditional, so it didn't modify the tag on pages that didn't actually need the script:

E-book Offering Helps Introduce DITA to New Writers and Implementers

Those who already have a paper version might want to consider the electronic version to support cutting and pasting the XML markup. Others might find this an innovative way to get started using DITA in their organizations.

Self-closing script tags and XHTML
Here's what I learned implementing the tagging script in the DITA-OT build. In order to preserve the <script ....></script> syntax you have to put something, but a no-op, between the tags:
<script ....> </script>
It remains to be seen whether the script will run and collect page load data. It should, but...if I had a dime for every time I'd said/heard that...
