Adobe Unveils Technical Communication Suite

[Michael O'Neill]

Vivek Jain @ Adobe discusses single-sourcing with RoboHelp and
FrameMaker on the Adobe Technical Communication blog:

http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/

"At the same time, you manage the content from FrameMaker files in a set
of special folders, providing you the flexibility of continuously
updating the content as you edit the files in FrameMaker.

To make the workflow smoother, RoboHelp provides a visual indicator of
whether the content in RoboHelp is out of synchronization with
FrameMaker content or not."


This is looking interesting.  Anyone know of a good listserv devoted to
discussing RoboHelp?

On the one hand, you complain about FrameMaker's "many limitations"
(such as?). On the other hand, you're suggesting dumping it and settling
for RoboHelp's printed output. Are you kidding? 

It sounds like you really _don't_ know what you're looking for -- you
just know you don't like FrameMaker.
