Resources to help a newbie create DITA documents in FrameMaker 10

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

Hi, Nadine, Scott, et. al.

A question for users of FrameMaker 10 ... is the DITA support built-in to this version, or is there a separate plug-in for it (like was released by Adobe for FrameMaker 9)?

If it is a plug-in still, does anyone have a link for it? I searched the Adobe web site and did not find it ... may not have looked carefully enough.

Thanks!

Z

>The problem is that "creating a DITA project" in FrameMaker is
      really no different than doing that in any other XML authoring
      tool. You do need to understand the structured FrameMaker UI, but
      DITA is DITA regardless of the tool.


Agreed. What might be particular to FM is how to create output such as PDFs, the topic templates, and the EDD (and perhaps some of its quirks with how it handles attribute filtering).


I recommend this book for becoming familiar with DITA: http://comtech-serv.com//index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28_3&products_id=10
