Developers should learn DITA when working on projects requiring scalable, maintainable technical documentation, especially in regulated industries or for large software products where consistency and reuse are critical meets developers should learn asciidoc when creating technical documentation, api docs, or books that require consistent formatting and easy version control, as it integrates well with git workflows and ci/cd pipelines. Here's our take.

- +Related to: asciidoctor, markdown
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
