Creating a topic
With DITA, topics are the basic building blocks for your content, and producing documentation starts with creating topics.
About this task
You create topics (as all objects) in the Repository. There are several ways to do it. We describe here how to do it directly from your XML editor.
DITA provides templates for your topics to help you make them adapted to specific purposes. The three main templates are Task, Concept and Reference. Task, for example, will contain and allow elements compatible with the description of a task. Using templates consistently and advisedly greatly improves the consistency of your documentation.
