Then trying to learn them concurrently with probably result in a poor outcome. You should consider learning XML first, then how FrameMaker is able to deal with XML data, then learn how DITA can be one type of XML that FrameMaker can deal with. The third one might be some way down the track though, if at all. Also, if you're only using DITA because it means that you don't have to fiddle with the setup too much, then I doubt if you need XML at all. Why don't you tell us what you're trying to achieve instead of how you're trying to do it? Marcus Carr
