<snip> i want to convert my structured document to xml. I have with me 1) EDD 2) sample document
are read/write rules necessary?? </snip> Maybe. Depends on how closely you're EDD and DTD match. If you generate your DTD from your EDD, you might be able to get away with the default R/W rules. If your DTD is different from your EDD, you will almost definitely need R/W rules (Although, with FM 7.2, you might be able to use the built-in XSL processor instead). <snip> Do i need XSLT for the formatting part? if yes, can anyone suggest some links for the same. </snip> Depends. Generally people use XSLT to format the XML, but you can also use cascading style sheets. Depends what browser you are using (assuming this is for display on the Web) and if you only want to format the text. If you want to "transform" the text to html or something else, you will most likely want to use XSLT, although I suppose you could use Perl, or something like that. If you are talking about formatting within FrameMaker itself, then your EDD and possibly a FM template would contain the formatting information. www.w3schools.com is a good site to help you get started with XSLT. http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/index.html has some great information, but it helps to know a little XSL before jumping in. Several list members also offer XSL training. Personally, I bought a book and worked my way through it.
