I've been a tech writer for 15 plus years and have worked with numerous editing software applications/content management systems. Recently I was tasked with learning Arbortext with Windchill as a CMS. I read several books about DITA theory which were helpful, but lacked a focus on Arbortext (a DITA-based editing platform). Liz's book, Arbortext 102 (and it's predecessor Arbortext 101), has been invaluable in navigating Arbortext. I used Liz's book as a step-by-step instruction on how to use Arbortext Sytler to create stylesheets for my company. Not only was Arbortext 102 a step-by-step instruction manual, it was also easily understood. DITA concepts can be very intimidating, but Liz's book made understanding DITA concepts user friendly and accommodating. I look forward to the next book...

The first book about Arbortext stylesheets and best practices for creating them. This is the book I used to publish it and Arbortext 101 too! Once my content was written, it took me less than a day to publish it in print-ready, high-quality PDF output acceptable for printing and the ePub output too. You can't go wrong with this book!
