Adobe announces FrameMaker (2015 Release) -- first steps with Arabic (RTL)

[Heiko Haida]

Dear Maxwell, 

thank you for this announcement and for the many new features of FM
2015, of course. 

I bought a subscription license and just made the very first steps to
use FM 2015 in our XML-based workflow for Arabic documents. The
conversion to Arabic looks very well. Only changing the direction from
RTL to LTR (with the setting of bidi-markers) is different to Indesign
and not so intuitive and handy. 

One point where there might be a small bug: 
Although the structured template is set to "Document > Direction > RTL",
my new FM files based on this template still are set to "LTR"... It
seems that this new property is not correctly transfered during the
structured workflow (unless I am missing sth ...). 

Best regards -- Tino H. Haida, Berlin

> Still no wiki integration.
