When you say “I just ran across this page.” Could you change it to “I ran across this page on DJ Cline.com”?
Thanks,

]]> Comment on DITA Constraints Presentation by Søren Weimann http://www.ditawriter.com/dita-constraints-presentation/#comment-25760 Søren Weimann Wed, 08 May 2013 07:48:02 +0000 http://www.ditawriter.com/?p=197#comment-25760 Thanks for the article.
Jang F.M. Graat is spot on. The ability to create valid standard DITA, but in an editor that shows only the tags and attributes you need, is essential to DITA taking the next step – and moving into e.g. the developer’s and marketing content development toolbox.
Also in the documentation department reducing the tag set to what’s needed, will ease the change management when implementing DITA.
Furthermore, constraints help content developers be more consistent in tagging content. Let’s face it: We do structured writing, but the agreed structure never looks exactly the same in the in heads of two content developers. ;-)
I see that your article is a couple of years old. I’d like to know if you have come across any WYSIWYG tools for implementing constraints in the mean time?
