The new moon is in the sky when it's daytime. Crescents show at dawn/dusk. Full moon is night only.
Re:DITA – Darwin Information Typing Architecture on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @07:51PM (#45432734)
I've used the DITA-XML Learning and Training specialization to write technical training documentation and I loved it. So much flexibility in generating document outputs and customizable standardisation.

Choosing the right information model for your company/group is not an easy task, but it's not the main hurdle. The major problem we had adopting DITA was having managers understand the added value of taking the time to train people to understand and write structured documentation.

I'm in a new job in a bigger org and I'm trying to show them the benefits, but that boat is really hard to steer. People REALLY like the WYSIWYG freeform documents.

Very nice effort.

My favorite part is the MS word grammar correct red squiggly lines.

Any details about USB-C? I bet this USB-C implementation is not standard compliant in a typical Apple way.

Re:Vex – open-source visual editor for XML on Tuesday September 14, 2021 @09:57PM (#28534279)
Looks like an alternative to OxygenXML, but a lot less refined. Anyways, good work, I'll be trying it out!
It seems it's hard to transport pressurized hydrogen in pipelines as hydrogen embrittles steel. Gas utilities are trying to implement this to lower the carbon footprint of their gas (when hydrogen comes from renewable sources).

Your comment is a bit bigoted, the government has been paying families, not "french families", to have more kids. This isn't segregated by language at all. Everyone gets their child allowance payments, whatever their origin.

Film and phone is where I am too. Film is to take picture when I have the time. The phone is to capture moments as I always have it with me.

I am a tech writer and I write tasks and procedures using DITA-XML. I was thinking about transforming my .dita files to .mlt to use in shortcut/melt, but I think I'm going to use this instead.
