XML is a text-centric markup language derived from Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). Moving to structured authoring with XML offers many benefits for documentation departments. However, moving from an unstructured authoring environment to a structured one requires effort and resources, is time-consuming, and can be expensive. DITA is an XML-based open-standard architecture for document representation.
DITA can help with making a move to structured authoring. An authoring paradigm presents technical writers with a particular view of the document model. There are two types of authoring paradigms: unstructured authoring and structured authoring.

Can you speak with a lighter shallow voice.. Your voice has a lot of penetrating nasal sound vocalization. As a result it creates huge irrigation in the ears on a continuance listing 😢

It's robotic in nature as well... you need to give more rhythmic space between words.
