April 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Pittsburgh, PA – April 20,2011 - Inmedius, Inc. today announced the immediate availability of Inmedius DITA Storm™ version 3.0 the robust XML editing solution. The latest DITA Storm update provides full support for the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) documentation standard version 1.1 and includes v1.2 schemas.   An extensive breadth and depth of new features and enhancements in the software release improve ease of use, efficiency, quality of output, and access to contributors in a managed, structured process.  

“We were looking for an affordable browser-based, cross-platform, WYSIWYG DITA authoring platform that would give authors from varied backgrounds a comfortable, accessible interface,” stated David Katz, New Processor Applications Manager, Analog Devices, Inc.  “DITA Storm was one of the only solutions that met these criteria.  Its new change tracking capability is also vital for our single-source workflow, allowing both editors and authors to modify and approve the same source material, thus eliminating error-prone manual edit cycles.”

DITA Storm v3.0 includes a host of developments, including change tracking and review functionality.  The new mode presents accumulated changes made to the document by diverse authors at different times that may be accepted or rejected.  Additionally, contributors may now review the document in a managed, structured manner, expanding access.  Tracking information is stored as a set of processing instructions.

The new Link Validation feature highlights invalid outgoing links to other documents. Other ease of use developments includes using WYSIWYG to restructure the document by simply dragging and dropping content elements within the mapping environment.  An enhanced copy and paste function allows users to straightforwardly duplicate content from third-party text processors or HTML pages into DITA documents.  The latest release easily supports DITA Specialization with the natural ability of elements to ‘fall back’ to parent element implementations.  Other efficiency improvements include; Ditaval file handling, element ID management, an extended set of XML manipulation commands, invalid document handling, enhanced attribute editing, and full Continuous Acquisition and Lifecycle Support (CALS) Table support.  

“As the DITA market expands, Inmedius continues to innovate and leapfrog the competition with the development of our latest DITA Storm v3.0 release,” stated Gary L. Schaffer, President and CEO, Inmedius.  “Robust new functionality, with DITA v1.1 and v1.2 support, pushes the boundaries for more efficient collaboration and better control of DITA documentation.”

DITA Storm enables authors to quickly and easily create and edit DITA-compliant content in WYSIWYG mode, regardless of their DITA or XML expertise.  As easy to use as a word or text processing application, authors are able to create and edit content in a familiar environment. The Web-based editor simply embeds into virtually any Web application or Content Management System (CMS), ensuring the entire DITA documentation lifecycle is supported.
