This four-lesson course introduces you to the DITA task topic type.

This course builds on what you learned in the two prerequisite classes: Introduction to DITA and The DITA concept topic type. While the top-level elements in a task topic will be new to you, many of these elements can contain elements you have learned about in the previous classes.
