Hi,

Background - I  know FrameMaker (unstructured), I know XML, I know DITA, I know 
Oxygen. I thought doing Dita in FM would come naturally to me, but it has not. 
So, I have some basic questions for the group.

1. When I create a dita map and add topics, I do not see any heading options in 
the elements available. How do I add a heading structure within an element? Is 
it only based on hierarchy in the map? Sometimes I want some hierarchy in my 
topics.

2. I can copy the output templates folder and rename it, but I have difficulty 
figuring out what to do with each file in the folder. I can modify the title 
page easily but can't make sense of what else is there. For example, the PDF is 
transforming with numbered headings that all start on new pages. I would expect 
the paragraph designer to give me some ability to change this within a chapter. 
It does not.  I did the Save as FM with components and then publish it to PDF. 
I need to know how to customize the templates. Once I understand this, I know 
how to create the new settings file to reference. I can't find a CSS, that I 
can modify either. 

Are there any tutorials available to guide me on these two items? Does anybody 
have a good, non-numbered Dita map to PDF template I could start with?

I feel like such a newbie ☹

Debbi
