Hi Mollye,
I'm currently also working on a fun project: authoring structured
content for a corporate website.
I'm using the DITA information model and I'm writing DITA topics in
FrameMaker with the DITA-FMx plug-in. This is how I do it:
1. We do a brainstorm and make a list of the topics

This flipped across my path recently and sounds similar to what you are
doing, might be worth a look??

It's the second, as in your example. If the words leave a line that's too
short to look good, you can set how that's managed. It can either
recalculate the lines above it and pull the short line up into the paragraph
OR it can expand the text and send more into the last line.
But it's automatic.
Dear all,I am looking for a tool to manage the different versions of a same
document. Does FM 8.0 include this kind of feature? Do you use a specific tool?
In a word, how do you track versions of a document (unstructured FM)?Thank you
for your tips!Yours sincerely,Mathieu.
Hi Yves,
Thanks! sounds cool and you've provided great details. The creation process
sounds relatively easy. For sure, if I used DITA everything from this very
large doc set would need rewriting... It's likely time to do a serious
content cleaning so I'll do some projections on time and cost.
The problem is that XML and by extention XHTML describe content, not
presentation or formatting. HTML is designed to present data in a
formatted state (XHTML is designed to allow the content author to
define the structure and presentation). But HTML does not have the
control built into it for
Truthfully, I'd use Oxygen rather than Blaze for an XHTML editor. Or
I'd use a couple of other apps, which even when taken as a group are
less expensive than would be Blaze. And have a learning curve that
isn't as steep. The requirement to design isn't one that I would give

Hi all
I wrote yesterday about Word and the Acrobat markup tools for reviewers, and
agreed with the consensus that Acrobat Pro 8 is the way to go for reviewing.
So I ordered a copy (due here in a few days by snail mail). I also
downloaded the 30 day trial so I can work with it now.
Hi Deirdre,
It seems odd that there is only one date no the Revisions Page. If only one
date is used I would have thought that it would appear on the title page only
and there would be no need for a Revisions Page. From what I have seen you
only have a Revisions Page to list revision dates,

I concur with Bill. What I cannot understand is that this was trumpeted as a
FrameMaker killer yet its functionality falls far below. FM is very
powerful but
still needs a lot of work. For one, the presence of so many indexing add-ons
indicates that better indexing and index

Is that the same as widows and orphans? Or is it when a small word,
say "all", turns over onto a new line at the end of a paragraph? If
the latter, in FM most people just put a

We use a source control system like our developers do. Since I have been at
TriZetto, we have used Visual Source Safe, Perforce, and PVCS.
Of these, Perforce is my favorite; PVCS is the least desirable.
We have also tried to use SharePoint, but the source control feature does not
