A script that scans all DITA files in a directory for occurrences of an entire list of words and phrases. Markup tags (without the angle brackets) are also reckoned as words.

You want to scan all files in a directory for several words, all at once.

Maybe these words are a list of do-not-use words that your style guide specifies, but you don't have an automated word checker to look for such occurences. Maybe you want to know if you've used certain DITA tags in your files but do not want to run a system search for each tag, one by one.

This script searches for multiple words at one go, and also phrases and DITA tags. You specify a list of words and phrases, and tell the script which directory it should scan. The script runs the checks and gives you a report that you can read and act upon.

See Anin's Documentation Tools.

It is assumed that all DITA topic files have the .dita extension. If your files use the .xml extension, this script will not work in its present form.

The code was converted from .py to .exe through auto-py-to-exe.
