This four-lesson course introduces you to general reuse concepts in DITA, how to create reusable topics and maps, and how fragment-type reuse works in DITA.

This course builds on what you learned in the five preceding courses: Introduction to DITA, The DITA concept topic type, The DITA task topic type, The DITA reference and glossary topic types, and Using DITA maps and bookmaps.

We encourage you to complete the other courses before taking this course.
