A DITA-fied version of the Pilot Training Manual for the Mitchell Bomber B-25
This is an ongoing project to convert the original Pilot Training Manual for the Mitchell Bomber (B-25) to DITA 1.3, designed to provide a sample aviation document that has been optimized using DITA best practices.
Some of the things this manual will showcase when complete:
- implement a keystore containing keys of commonly-used features
- a key-based image repository
- common phrases rendered in conrefs
- include acronym elements to spell out inline terms
- topics fully indexed
- keyword elements to be used in an appendix
- fully accessible tables and images
- short descriptions for every topic
At the time of writing (January 2018) this project is now content- and image-complete, but still has some way to go.
Much thanks to Scott Hudson and Eliot Kimber for their considerable contributions to this project.
