What is a dita file and how do I open a dita file?
DITA documents are files encoded in the DITA format, and these DITA files are appended with the .dita extension. "DITA" in the DITA file format and extension stands for Darwin Information Typing Architecture. These DITA files are essentially text files encoded in the plain text format and are integrated with XML-based specifications and standards. The data stored in a DITA document usually includes details of scientific information used for the development and publication of technical materials. These pieces of data saved in a DITA file are structured text content with definitions (also called "Concepts"), how-to details (also known as "Tasks") and citations or facts (also called "References"). The Eclipse software from OASIS can be used by users of Linux systems with the XMLBuddy plug-in to implement support for these DITA files. There are also versions of the Eclipse application for Microsoft Windows and Mac platforms, so users of these operating systems can use the XMLBuddy plug-in, particularly versions developed for their OS, to start authoring, opening and editing the content of these DITA files.
