Hi, I'm responsible for writing and translating user documentation for a company with a number of different products and product modules which can be...
Lars, As tempting as it may be, if you don't already have an investment in FrameMaker, I don't think it'd be wise for you to start with it now. If you're...
... First, you don't *need* XML to reuse that common information -- I maintain a collection of documentation with a great deal of reuse using unstructured...
Hello: In answer to your question below, yes. You can set up FrameMaker documents to export to XML. The XML is clean XML with no formatting or proprietary...
Michael, are you saying that Lars should stay with Quark but buy one of these add-ons? I've been following Lars's question and want to be sure I understand...
No, for what it's worth, I'm saying that I think he should ignore FrameMaker, and if he really wants to move to XML, should move to using real, non-proprietary...
Kay, I've been following along and, if you wouldn't mind, would love to see some of your examples. Thanks, Chris Putman Senior Technical Writer Openwave...
Thanks, Michael. Here's my follow-up question. It may be generated by my newbie-ness! FrameMaker has such tools as chapter- and book-level indexing, ditto TOC...
Add liberal amounts of :-) where appropriate.... ... When you say "non-proprietary," are you excluding proprietary XML software such as Xmetal? While I have my...
Single-sourcing is indeed a concept independent of applications (which FrameMaker is) and technologies (which XML is). My first single-sourcing was achieved...
Hi Larry, ... No, I didn't mean to exclude tools like Xmetal. I was writing quickly and kind of mis-spoke. Actually, what I was thinking of when I wrote ...
... True. On the other hand, for most situations that require print as one of its outputs, Frame can deliver better typographic quality & control than FO....
Hi Mark, ... I definitely won't dispute that. But for many situations, maybe that degree of control isn't necessary. For example, as far as the users of the...
Hi Nancy, ... No, I wouldn't say that you're thinking too much in a print frame of reference at all. Most of the things you mention (indexing, TOC generation,...
Hi Michael, I don't know how I wound up in the position of defending Frame, I'm going to ditch it first chance I get. Maybe I'm in the mood to be a Devil's...
I would like someone to comment on the following assertion, which I believe to be true: If you cannot use one of the supplied applications, then you must...
For those of you interested in harnessing the power of Adobe Framemaker, structured authoring, and content management. Check out this webinar to learn more! ...
In light of the recent discussion contrasting structured FrameMaker with open source XML tools, I want to mention that I've made available by download an open...

I'm back, and ready with another question for the group. This may be more appropriate for a content or knowledge management discussion group, so if it not as...
I will have a new requirement as the following. Users would like to edit documents with format information with internet browser. The documents would be saved...
you might have a look at Lenya: http://cocoon.apache.org/lenya/ re your step 2, see "Through The Web (TTW) authoring tools", Paul Browning, University of...
Hi, Kay, and many thanks for your input. I would very much like some of your sample Frame and XML documents to get an idea of how they differ (if at all). I'm...
Yes, me too -- if anyone has samples in Frame and XMl where a newbie can see the difference, I would sure love to receive them. Many, many thanks. --Nancy...

Steve, I've had my own problems with Frame, but I'm surprised at a couple of your problems. Maybe I'm not understanding you, but I think these problems can be ...
