Syntax highlighting with DITA
Syntax highlighting is something that I like in user documentation because I feel that it helps make source listings easier for people to understand.

Working with DITA topic identifiers

Choosing a documentation solution
For a while I have been using Microsoft Word to author user guides and to be fair this has been a good solution up until now. Since beginning work on Rotorz Tile System there have been a number of product updates which have required multiple updates of the user documentation. Despite using style presets the process of maintaining consistent formatting and updating illustrations is extremely time consuming. I also feel that there is a need for a web based version of the documentation to make it easier for people to find their way around.
