The dita element provides a top-level container for multiple topics when you create documents using the ditabase document type. The dita element lets you create any sequence of topics, and the ditabase document type lets you nest these topic types inside each other. The dita element has no particular output implications; it simply allows you to create multiple topics of different types at the same level in a single document.
