DITA

Learn how Vale handles DITA content.

Due to the dependency on the third-party dita command, you'll likely experience worse performance with DITA files compared to other formats.

DITA is supported through the DITA Open Toolkit. You’ll need to follow the installation instructions, including the optional step of adding the absolute path for the bin directory to the PATH system variable.

The supported extension is .dita.

Vale runs dita with the html5 transformation and lints the result, so the HTML rules apply: <codeblock> becomes <pre> and is skipped, and <codeph> and <tt> become inline code.
