works directly with XML (has since FM7.1).<br>

FM11 (and 12) even have a "code view" mode that lets you edit
the XML markup directly.<br>

<div>We're finally using FrameMaker here. I've used it since
5.5.6 but here's a situation I've not seen before.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Before, they were using Word and an XML-based authoring
system. Word did not play nicely with their automated review
process, but, with their XML documents, the author could sign
the file out of the repository, then send it automatically for
review. The review and any changes would come back directly,
whereupon, the author could make changes and check it back
into the repository.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is important here is that the reviewer can view the
raw XML file; the author does not need to convert or export
anything. Now, FrameMaker can export into XML, but doing so
would break the automated process and they would be reduced to
doing like I have to do with Word: e-mail chunks of text or
save them somewhere on the network, etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, my question is this: can FrameMaker work directly with
XML? Or does FrameMaker only work with its binary *.FM file?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for this. I could theoretically check this out
myself, but, for the moment, I only have the licence and not
the software :D</div>
