DITA Compare Technical Specification

DITA Compare Technical Specifications

DeltaNova’s DITA Compare performs topic-level, map-file, and map-topicset comparison of DITA documents, producing DITA output with differences marked using standard DITA markup or editor-specific tracked change formats.

Supported DITA Versions

DITA Compare supports DITA 1.x and DITA 2.x topic and map structures.

Comparison Behavior

Comparison is based on XML-level processing rather than DITA semantics — elements with the same name and position in the tree are matched.
