Out of the box, XMLmind XML Editor (XXE for short) allows to edit topics, maps and bookmaps conforming to the DITA 1.1 DTD or W3C XML Schema.
By default, DITA documents created using XXE conform to the DTD and not to the W3C XML Schema, but this can be easily changed by customizing the DITA configuration as explained in XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment Opens in new window.
As of version 4.5, XXE no longer relies on the DITA Open Toolkit Opens in new window to convert DITA documents to formats such as XHTML, PDF, RTF, etc. Instead XXE embeds XMLmind DITA Converter:
XMLmind DITA Converter Opens in new window (ditac for short) allows to convert the most complex DITA 1.1 documents to production-quality XHTML 1.0, XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.1, Java™ Help, HTML Help, Eclipse Help, EPUB, PDF, PostScript®, RTF (can be opened in Word 2000+), WordprocessingML (can be opened in Word 2003+), Office Open XML (.docx, can be opened in Word 2007+), OpenOffice (.odt, can be opened in OpenOffice.org 2+).
XMLmind DITA Converter is free, open source, software licensed under the very liberal terms of the Mozilla Public License version 1.1.
All this makes XMLmind DITA Converter a very serious alternative to using the DITA Open Toolkit Opens in new window.
