DITA and FrameMaker

[mark.poston at mekon.com]

Hi,

Just to confirm ... the FrameMaker Adapter for the DITA Open Toolkit developed by Mekon and XMetaL is for print only. It is not designed to be used as a DITA authoring tool due to the changes we make to improve how the XML can be formatted, and to support specialisations without the need to extend the FrameMaker application itself.

One of the nice features of the FrameMaker Adapter is that it creates FrameMaker files that can be used with other tools like WebWorks/ePublisher Pro.

Kind regards

Mark Poston

Based on the descriptions and the sourceforge notes, it seems to me that 
the XMetal add-in is to simply use FrameMaker as a PDF output engine.

The free Adobe plug-in that is due out shortly lets you use FrameMaker as 
your authoring environment.
