Here is my experiment: I want to successfully pull in XML into a structured document. I am not interested in much else then seeing it work; and then making the process more sophisticated after seeing it done.
So far I have a really basic 3 line Frame template that I built in the Structured authoring environment. 1. Company Name 2. Account Rep 3. Creation Date What I am supposed to do next? There are books that explain DTDs and EDDs and elements and such. I realize the importance of these documents. I am just not sure how to proceed next. This is my guess. I need to look at my "structure" and hand code a DTD. I am guessing that this document will then allow me to add elements to my document via the Element catalogue. The whole process reminds me a lot of adding cascading style sheets to web pages on Dreamweaver...the one big difference is I can create the style sheets in Dreamweaver. I am still not seeing a way to create the EDD/DTD in Framemaker...without having a structure in place. I assume this is the most basic of questions and while many of the resources that I have looked through elaborately explain what each of these items is, I have found very few resources that will explain how to tie them all together as a newbie. I have begun looking through your archives but thought that I would post the question hoping for a brief explanation of how to proceed with my experiment. I would really appreciate any finger pointing or explanation that anyone has time for. Thanks in advance. As a side note. I love this software and I love the idea of what I am going to eventually do with it. ________________________________ Kevin C.
