Hello Robert, The new feature of simplified XML editing is a "no cost" feature, in that it is built-in to the product. It will work in either Full-Featured FrameMaker, or the less expensive FrameMaker XML Author (2015 Release). [For information on FMXA, the 2nd version referred to, go to its home page at: http://www.adobe.com/products/framemakerxmlauthor.html ]
Here is a link to a video about how an optional setting for the AUTHORING MODE of XML editing in either FrameMaker or FrameMaker XML Author will allow you to have DITA "fill-in-the-blank" forms, vs. working with element tags and the traditional Structure View Window: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/framemaker-2015/fm-simpler-xml-authoring/ This new technique will enable you to have temp team members (including SMEs) create new DITA content with minimal training. =================================== Maxwell Hoffmann | Product Evangelist | Adobe | p. 503.336.5952 | c. 503.805.3719 | mhoff...@adobe.com http://twitter.com/maxwellhoffmann - http://www.linkedin.com/in/maxwellhoffmann blogs.adobe.com/techcomm Upcoming webinars http://adobe.ly/Pbz6xI Recorded webinars: http://adobe.ly/Pbdp0J -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Robert Lauriston Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2015 2:39 PM To: Framers Mailing List (framers@lists.frameusers.com) Subject: Re: Adobe announces FrameMaker (2015 Release) "Empowering SMEs to author in a NEW, simplified 'form-like' XML environment, without knowing XML" That could be interesting, depending on exactly what it means, and how much extra you have to pay to use it. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as mhoff...@adobe.com.
