Hi, Yves. Oh, I agree that if I were indeed _needing_ to use DITA for my work right now, then DITA-FMx would be at the top of the list.
However, with my current documentation workflow (as mentioned in a different thread), it is overkill for me to buy DITA-FMx for my own education purposes at this time. ☺ Thanks for the added information, and the endorsement, though.

Just take a look at the DITA Feature Comparison on the Leximation site: www.leximation.com/dita-fmx/featurecomparison.php<http://www.leximation.com/dita-fmx/featurecomparison.php> Believe me, you cannot really "do DITA" in a production environment with FrameMaker without DITA-FMx.

Right now, DITA is a curiosity for me and I want to learn more about it. I.e., I don’t have any specific need to create documents/output using DITA for our company. So, buying DITA-FMx does not make sense for me, since I would not be able to justify expensing it – sorry about that! Of course, I use and love _another_ one of your products: BookVars – this is a key tool for me when using FrameMaker. :) Z
