This four-lesson course introduces you to the DITA reference, glossary entry, and glossary group topic types.

This course builds on what you learned in the three prerequisite classes: Introduction to DITA, The DITA concept topic type, and The DITA task topic type.

While the top-level elements in the reference and glossary topics will be new to you, many of these elements can contain elements you have learned about in the previous classes.
