MadCap are sending out a mailing to its database today with the words:

MadCap DITA

The link sends you to the MadCap Web site, but provides no other information.

I guess we’ll have to wait a week until we know more.

When I spoke with Mike Hamilton in February, he said that Flare 4.0 would support DITA.

I don’t know exactly what that means–there are many levels of possible DITA support, some useful and some not so much. I would like to hear about basic features–does it support DITA customization? Does it validate your sources? etc.

I spoke to Mike last week and from memory (I may have imbibed a few shandies that evening) this looks like a Flare 4.0 feature??

As for “what’s brewing”… they are trying to create some noise and get some free marketing in the hope that bloggers will mention this on thei…

Ohhhhhhh ;-)
