More than lipstick on a pig

[Hedley Finger]

Well, I installed the trial of FM9 beside FM8.  'Course double-clicking 
a *.fm file launches FM9 but soon fixed that.  Like the PODs for viewing 
various useful things.  Also ability to turn non-modal dialogues into 
floating/tiled palettes.  Support for DITA 1.1 double-plus good.  Funky 
grey styling to match other Adobe products: keeps marketing people off 
the streets, don't it.

Now that you can see a list of all markers, perhaps Index markers can 
also be toggled with a sorted display of all index entries in the book, 
with editing of Level1IX headings automatically modifying all the 
relevant markers, and other good indexing aids.  P.S. Do IXgen, emDex, 
GenDex, Index Tools Pro, etc. work with FM9?  (Hey, Adobe, doesn't the 
existence of all these indexing plug-ins, which each address only PART 
of the indexing functionality required,  tell you where your next 
development efforts should be directed?  Take a look at Cindex, Sky 
Index, and Macrex to get a bit of a hint. Oh, and MultiTes too for 
vocabulary control of team indexing.  Even InDesign indexing interface 
is better in some respects.  -- Disillusioned in Melbourne)

Hedley
