## 1. About DITA support in XMLmind XML Editor

Out of the box, XMLmind XML Editor (XXE for short) allows to edit topics, maps and bookmaps conforming to the DITA 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 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 .
Note that XMLmind XML Editor only supports "Technical content elements ". Other vocabularies, "Learning and training elements ", "Classification elements ", "Task requirements domain ", etc, are not yet officially supported.
As of version 4.5, XXE no longer relies on the DITA Open Toolkit to convert DITA documents to formats such as XHTML, PDF, RTF, etc. Instead XXE embeds XMLmind DITA Converter:

> XMLmind DITA Converter (ditac for short) allows to convert the most complex DITA 1.2 documents to production-quality XHTML 1.0, XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.01, XHTML 5.0, Web Help, Java™ Help, HTML Help, Eclipse Help, EPUB 2, EPUB 3, 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 .
