[REQUEST] Help with publishing DITA content to website

Post by CountDriftula »

Hi there, I have a GitHub repo with my source content in DITA maps and topics, and I am looking to publish to a website to host my technical documentation, something like the Oxygen documentation site - https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/27.1/ug-editor/.

I see at the bottom of this page that it says "This website was created & generated with <oXygen/>®XML Editor" - can I get some pointers on how this can be done? And what level of CSS proficiency would I need to be able to achieve this? I am a technical writer but I am willing to learn what it takes to publish my own site.

Thank you in advance!

Hi CountDriftula,

To publish the documentation, you could use the DITA Map WebHelp Responsive transformation scenario. Our online User-Guide was also published using that transformation scenario.

Going further, you could create your own CSS rules in a CSS customization which could be used to fine-tune the way the output is displayed (more information on how to do that available in the How to Use CSS Styling to Customize the Output section from the user-guide) is displayed and even create and use a custom footer.
