DITAToo is a Lego® constructor for content. Just as the Lego® constructor lets you reuse the same bricks again and again to construct different toys, so DITAToo allows you to assemble the same chunks of content into different documents. For example, from the same set of chunks, your technical writers can assemble product documentation while your sales staff can create a technical part of a sales proposal.
-
Sales Proposals
Proposals often contain information that has already been included in product documentation. Moreover, proposals for different customers can contain both the information common to all customers as well as customer-specific content. So just pick up the content you need from the DITAToo repository, apply customer-specific content filters, and publish.

Marketing Collateral
Marketing information needs to be delivered to customers through many different channels: brochures, datasheets, white papers, website, and so on. Probably, information that you want to deliver already exists and you don’t need to recreate it. You just need to find it, select an output format, choose a skin you want to apply, and publish.
-
User Documentation
In technical documentation, content is extensively reused across multiple products, output formats, and types of documents. In addition, content in technical documentation often needs to be conditionalized to reflect content variations. Arrange the content, update it if necessary, keep control on how each chunk is reused, choose a publishing profile, and publish.
-
OEM Documentation
OEM partners usually expect to get product documentation customized to their specific needs both in terms of content and look-and-feel, especially when they rebrand your products. Let them access the content repository with limited privileges, find the content they need, rearrange it as required, and output to a format they want.
