- DITA elements, A to Z
This topics provides links to all of the DITA elements in alphabetical order.
- DITA attributes, A to Z
This topics provides links to DITA attributes in alphabetical order.
- Topic elements
The base topic elements include elements that make up the core building blocks of the DITA topic, such as topic, body, and related-links, as well as elements like <p> and <ph> that are used in many topic specializations. Some of these elements are also available inside the <topicmeta> map element.
- Map elements
Map elements include the core components of DITA maps, such as the <topicref> and <reltable> elements.
- Metadata elements
The prolog elements represent metadata that is associated with a document. Most of these elements are valid in both topics and maps.
- Specialization elements
Several DITA elements exist either for architectural reasons or for support of specialized markup yet to be designed. Although there is little need to use these elements unless you are directed to, some of them, such as <state>, can be used if your content makes use of these semantic distinctions. For example, a discussion of signals on a gate of an integrated logic circuit might use the <state> element to represent either on or off conditions of that gate.
- Domain elements
A domain is a grouping of related DITA elements that can be integrated into document-type shells. The base edition of DITA includes a variety of domains for use in topics and maps.

- Attributes
This section contains definitions for commonly-used attributes. If an attribute is defined differently on a specific element, that information is covered in the topic for the specific element.
