one more question -Fame vs. ArborText

[Allen, Richard (Raytheon)]

The short answer is YES XML gets around all of that.  

The long answer is that an application must be created in AT and a
separate application must be created in FM.  Setting up these
applications is usually a non-trivial effort.  

BTW any XML compliant product, including IE, will be able to use the
very same XML document instance regardless of what application was used
in creation or editing.  The application that needs to be created for IE
is an XSL style sheet which will almost certainly use XSLT.  There are
XML to PDF products which have nothing to do with FM.

An XML document instance is void of formatting.  Formatting is left to
the application, AT or FM or IE or...

Hi all,

First, thanks to everyone who responded to my email on this topic. The
information is very helpful and I really do appreciate that you took the
time to respond.

One of the responses I received mentioned that the company had set up a
process to author in AT but was using FM to print because the AT print
engine is so slow.  So, apparently FM can import the XML that is
generated
by AT, display it, and print to PDF.  Great.

Regarding that, I have a couple of XML-newbie questions.

What if you wanted to edit an AT-generated XML file in FM, or
vice-versa?
The authoring tools are very different and do not have the same
features.
Does XML somhow get around that?  (I know, that was two questions. :-)

Thanks lots.

Diane
