Overview of content conversion to DITA

The Convert to DITA process is wizard driven. The wizard pages are only visible when you are logged in and if your account allows access to use them. Each item is a wizard that will guide you through a step in the content conversion to DITA. Here are the steps that Stilo Migrate provides for content conversion to DITA.


I

Select the source files and Upload them to Migrate

Note:

  • FrameMaker documents have to be saved as MIF file first.

Tip:

  • Multiple files can be zipped first and then uploaded with a single upload.
II

Perform a Analysis on the uploaded documents

Note:

  • Page and image credits will be charged in this step

Tip:

  • The content analysis reports where to expect problems
III

Group similar documents using the Commonality Analysis

Tips:

  • Use a document template for finding similar documents.
  • Set aside some time for creating a document template. Increased migration efficiency will be your reward.
IV

Define Topic Breaks

Notes:

  • There are style- and location-based topic breaks.
  • Set the style based breaks in the document template first
  • Then set location based break overrides for documents grouped under that template.
V

Define the output structure with Content Mappings

Note:

  • Content mappings can be done only for a template

Tip:

  • Fine-tune your mappings as often as you like.
VI

Break into topics with Topic Creation

Note:

  • A composite topic file will be created.

Tip:

  • View the output in your favourite authoring tool.
