DeltaXML DITA Compare

Compatible with DITA

DeltaXML DITA Compare generates standard DITA output:

• Identifies added and deleted words and annotates them with standard DITA attributes (rev and status)
• Integrates with DITA Open Toolkit and DITAC
• Can be used with RenderX, Antenna House and Apache-FOP to generate PDF
• Doctype declarations can be preserved from inputs - useful if subsequent tools in the tool-chain require/use doctype declarations

Integrates with XML editor change tracking

An alternative to marking differences using DITA's own change markup attributes (rev and status), is to mark the changes using a track change format. The changes can then be viewed in the editor and accepted/rejected. The supported tracked changes formats are:

• Arbortext Editor tracked changes format
• oXygen XML Editor tracked changes format
• XMetaL Editor tracked changes format

Shows changes to text and tables

DeltaXML DITA Compare shows changes exactly where they occur in your document:

• Comparison at the word granularity - allows changes to be easily identified in large paragraphs, only changed lines appear in changebars
• Compares individual cells in tables and shows changes (unless table structure has been changed)

Integrate with your publishing system

DeltaXML DITA Compare has comprehensive Java and .NET APIs for seamless integration:

• API supports comparison of:
  • Java Files, Strings, InputSource, URLs
  • .NET Files, Uris, TextReaders, Streams
  • in-memory, object and tree-based data

Customise for your own use of DITA

• Use your ditaval file to show changes the way you like to see them
• Configurable keying allowing user-configurable matching based on id, xml:id or condition attributes
