XML is a text-centric markup language derived from Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). Moving to structured authoring with XML offers many benefits for documentation departments. However, moving from an unstructured authoring environment to a structured one requires effort and resources, is time-consuming, and can be expensive. DITA is an XML-based open-standard architecture for document representation.
