Document Type

Each document in Serna belongs to some document type that is associated with a particular set of metadata (e.g. XSL Stylesheet, DTD, XML Schema). This association can be done by means of Serna document templates. Thanks to it, you do not have to specify the paths to relevant metadata manually when creating or opening a document in Serna.

Serna supports complex industrial DTDs/ Schemas. For the user's convenience, document types are grouped into the following document categories:
For example, the DITA 1.1 category includes the following document types:

Serna comes with ready-made document templates for these supported document types.

Serna also comes with a ready-made Default document template to work with well-formed documents.
