The meeting is Tuesday Nov. 13 at 7 pm at the North York Memorial Hall. See stctoronto.org for details.
Hi folks, STC Toronto invites members of the Toronto DITA User Group to consider entering our annual competitions for technical publications, online communication, and technical art. Please see the details at: http://stctoronto.org/ -- click the "Competition" link on the left
The STC competition is both a way of gaining recognition for technical communication work and a means of advancing the theory and practice of technical communication through the exchange of work samples and feedback.For further information, please contact: Milan Davidovic STC Toronto Competition Manager competition2007@... http://stctorcomp.blogspot.com/
Just a reminder about the October Toronto DITA user group meeting this Thursday evening.

I'm a newbie, so almost any topic will be new and exciting for me. In
addition to just learning the basics, I'm interested in what people
use for:
1. authoring environments (particularly any open source tools,
configurations of eclipse plug-ins, etc)
2. document repositories (again, particularly interested in open
source repositories)

reviewing dita source: an alternative
to revision bars
Hello,
I remember talking with either or both
of you last year about how we no longer use rev bars in the HTML generated
from DITA source. I remember someone talking about the possibility of using
stylesheets to set apart content that's changed, with a change in the background
colour. Do either of you recall where this information can be found?
Cheers,
Dirk

DITA Deployments...
Hi...
We've set up a new page at dita.xml.org that lists (or hopes to list)
DITA Deployments worldwide. As a way to jump start this list we're
emailing the contact person for each user group in hopes that you can
pass on this request to your members. If your members work for a company
or organization that has implemented DITA, we'd appreciate it if they
could add that name to the list ..
http://dita.xml.org/deployments
If there is a publicly accessible page or document that the name can be
linked to, which describes the implementation, that would great (for
examples, see http://opendocument.xml.org/deployments). Feel free to
contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks,
...scott
