John,
If you can get the money to do it, hire Suite Solutions
(http://www.suite-sol.com/) to write the EDDs and style sheets (xsl-fo and
xslt) for you. Instead of struggling with it, pulling your hair out, and
getting freustated, let the pros do it. Your manuals and help files will look
Remembering Gillian's original question:
Has anyone used TCS v4.x as a complete DITA solution? Are you liking it? Is it
better or worse than using, for example, XMetal or Oxygen with 3rd-party
scripts, etc.
That's the path I am setting down today. I would very much appreciate
experiences and
Atlassian eventually documented the storage format:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF43/Confluence+Storage+Format
Currently, the main limitation of the storage format is that there are
no tools for exporting or importing it, only a couple of APIs someone
could use to write such
What other tools did you consider? If I had carte blanche, I'd
probably use Confluence or MindTouch TCS.
Have you done DITA with FrameMaker before?

Thanks Nadine!
Yes, the existing product documentation was authored in oxygen in India. I
don't have good access to those resources, but I have the DITA files. I have to
make them look presentable, and then improve the quality of the writing, fill
in gaps, etc.
So I have no legacy FM content,
I made great progress today. I was able to open the DITA files and get them
pretty consistent with new master pages, etc.
I see two issues right now that I cannot figure out:

Hi All,
I am a new member of this list, so I am not familiar with it. Please bear
with me, for the time being, if I do something wrong.
I have now one question: we have received from one of our Client a manual in
FM10, that has been localised, so now we have to typeset the localised
manuals.
Sure... once we own it. ;)
It's a big enough team that procurement would want to negotiation for
multiple licenses. And that mean Q1.

Hi John,
In a structured FrameMaker document, the users don't deal directly with
paragraph (character, table) formats anyway, so there is no practical reason
to delete any.

Forget about formatting while you author. Learn to separate creating content
from formatting.

John...
The mapping from elements and their context happens in the structure
application's template (which contains an EDD). The EDD contains element
definitions, which in turn contain context rules. The context rules
specify the formatting (paragraph and character styles, or other
