PEOPLE: Madonna's Final Celebration Tour Stop in Rio de Janeiro Draws Record-Breaking Audience of 1.6 Million

https://people.com/madonna-celebration-tour-rio-de-janeiro-draws-record-audience-8643456

The show made history as, though the annual New Year's Eve concerts at Copacabana Beach have drawn larger crowds, Madonna's May 4 audience was her biggest ever, and the largest ever for a stand-alone concert by any artist, a record previously held by The Rolling Stones.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite I use Beyond Compare for *source* comparison. As a #technicalwriter I author in #DITA which is an xml specialization; nice because I can use the same toolchains and repos as my dev teams.

And BC *can* diff PDFs almost as well as Acrobat (in some cases better), so long as you're ok with it having scraped all the text out of it to do so. Which may or may not be what you want, but in that case, y not just diff the source.

Öffnet man Dokumente in Formaten wie #DocBook und #DITA im <oXygen/> #XML Editor, wechselt dieser in den nicht unbedingt intuitiv nutzbaren Author-Modus. Das hat Studis in der gestrigen Übung irritiert: da kommt so eine komische Word-Oberfläche.

Direkt in den Text-Modus, also zum Code, wäre besser. Der Author-Modus bietet sich eher an, um mal individuelle Formatierungen oder Tabellen einzufügen, wobei ich lieber ein <emphasis role="bold">Text</emphasis> tippe als einen B-Button zu bedienen.

#Writerside bietet einen Single-Source-Publishing-Ansatz mit einem eigenen Vokabular. Dabei sind aus #DocBook bekannte Elemente wie <chapter>, <procedure> und <topic> analog zu #DITA. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/writerside/markup-reference.html

Wenn man etwas komplett neu dokumentieren möchte, vielleicht ein zielführender Ansatz. Geprägt durch die lange Erfahrung mit DocBook und DITA für mich aber auch eine Neuerfindung des Rades und eben neuer Einarbeitungsaufwand nötig.

Looks interesting, but no #docbook? No #DITA? Bizarre.
