DITA and RH 2019

I have a) a lot of DITA content; b) the chance to get hold of RTH2019. To start finding out about the landscape, I headed off to Lynda-as-was and went through the RH2015 course. All very promising! but then I tried to find information on reusing my DITA content in RH2019: no luck.

Simple question: does RH2019 let me import DITA topics?

    @sharadav59133182 - why don't you publish straight out of FM?

    Hi Jeff,

    We wanted to switch to Frameless output. The latest template/skin of new RH 2019 is amazing.

    Also, currently FM does not have the frameless output option.

     

    Thanks

    Assuming you mean 2019 New UI rather than Classic, no there isn't an import. Not many people importing DITA into RoboHelp. At the moment you would have to import into 2019 Classic and then upgrade that to 2019 New.

    Hi Both,

     

    I sincerely hope Adobe starts supporting linking /importing dita files to New RH 2019. I have created a request too in tracker, hope it gets through: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/RH-7030

     

    Most of my content too is in dita. Currently, I am saving it to FM book and then linking it to New RH 2019. Am stuck with mapping issues, but am hopeful that it will get resolved.

     

    Thanks
