Along with being portable, DITA Storm provides the ability to edit content in WYSIWYG mode, making it easy to use even by any DITA-unaware content editor. Its as simple to use as a text processor. DITA Storm has full awareness of the editing context and limits editor actions to only those available in the given context, making on-demand validation unnecessary.

A flexible configuration allows easy customization of XML structure changing definitions of existing elements or even creating new elements and specializations.

Along with XML structure, the editor presentation of that structure can also be changed. DITA Storm uses an intelligent XSL processor to define how elements should be rendered in the editing area. By updating the XSL template you can customize content representation.
