The Companies Using DITA list on https://t.co/zNoOqRJzzT has been updated. This update involved removing companies that have been acquired, merged, or no longer exist, but the list remains substantial. https://t.co/pzeg9ZtrRP

Converting Content and Coding DITA with Claude AI - https://t.co/CEvLbYzusR I put @AnthropicAI's https://t.co/MnVO7o370A to work converting existing content to #DITAXML. While the results were not flawless, the results suggest AI in #techcomm is here to stay.
