[Framers] Using Frame as a little CMS

[Robert Lauriston]

Could you describe the end result? It's not exactly clear what you're
trying to accomplish. Are you generating multiple versions of a
document with different sets of insets? If so, how many documents and
how many insets?

Generally speaking, I would not try to do that with unstructured
FrameMaker. In that situation I'd be evaluating Flare and other tools
with stronger reuse capabilities.

That said, you could use Subversion or any similar revision control
system to group different sets of insets.
