What FM plugin suite give the most bang?

Thu Apr 23 11:20:57 PDT 2015

For me, BookVars from Leximation is vital.

I recommend it highly to maintain variables at the book level for consistency - many of my books have hundreds of variables, and I would not be able to cleanly manage variables without it.

Subject: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?

Hi, guys...I'm using FM11 unstructured and I maintain quite a large document set...10 books of 2,000 pages each give or take.

Because of the amount of time I spend on housekeeping, I'm ready to take a stab at adding plugins that will save me time. In addition, I may be bringing in a team of 3-4 writers and I want the files to be as clean as possible. When you evolve to 20,000 pages of document from an initial 195 pages in 2 years, ya get careless at times.

Now...I'm in a very locked down environment, so I know I'm in for a battle...this very well can be a 3-6 month project and I may loose.

Money is no object. I was able to easily justify a $500 application just to check broken links (3 bullet points in an email) , but it took 4 months to work through the process from "request to license".

So...if I was to try to put together a shopping list together with as many plugin components in as few different products as possible, what should that be?

Thanks
