Re: [dita] Sound bite for the OASIS press release

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Looks good. Here are a couple of copy edit suggestions:

1) Lose the hyphen in professionally published (you could actually drop professionally published altogether, but at least drop the hyphen).

2) I would invert the last sentence and say, "Because of ..... to support content reuse, DITA is widely used ...."

I have some thoughts on the other paragraph, which I'll send separately.

Best regards,
Dick

DITA is widely used for professionally-published books and magazines, technical documentation, online help, training and course development, marketing materials, and medical information because of its modular, topic-based approach and its ability to support content reuse.

Together the re-use and interoperation possibilities of DITA allow great cost sharing and cost reductions.”
