Schema tools

[Sales at Bright Path]

Hi Jon:

You can create directly in FrameMaker as an EDD, then can save as a DTD.
(If you need a schema, you can turn a DTD into a schema using several
tools... My favorite is TurboXML:
http://www.tibco.com/software/metadata/turboxml.jsp .

Or, to create the DTD or schema you can use tools like TurboXML, Oxygen,
etc.  Make either a DTD or a schema (depending on what your requirements
are) and then bring the DTD or schema into FrameMaker via File > Structure
Tools > Open DTD (or Open Schema). FrameMaker's EDD is created from that
imported element/attribute data and you can start adding your
formatties/template info.

If you need any additional clarification, feel free to reply.

Good luck,

Kay

Hi All,

 

We would like to begin developing in structured framemaker. My understanding
is that to do so, we need to bring in schema that FM can use to help us
structure our docs. Can anyone recommend some solid tools for creating
schema? It's either that or write the markup by hand, something I'd rather
not do.
