I’ll redefine my question:
for a specific use case I’m investigating the option of using a docbook book
file to let my client edit and maintain their docbook-based xml files in a
book-like setting. Analog to the ditamap.
Now when I open a docbook book file in FM, FM converts it directly to a FM
I had horrible RSI in my mouse-clicking finger back in the bad-old-days of
mechanical mice.
Modern optical mice have made things a lot better, and I changed mouse-hands to
become "ambi-mousetrous" too, which all helped...

Hi Wim,
the new FM 12 XML Author tool would create book files, but only xml
files for chapters inside etc.
So your authors could work with this tool. It looks like this is want
you want (any DTD would work).
Publishing would be done afterwards with a regular FM (not necessarily
FM 12).

Yeah! I have an older version of this keyboard - was called something else
(Microsoft Natural Wireless Keyboard or some such thing). This is at work where
I do most of my editing and typing and stuff.
My home keyboard is an old Dell standard one ... just an okay keyboard, but I

I doubt there are many FrameMaker DocBook users, since support was
just added in FM12. In structured mode it should not convert XML to
.fm.
If you don't have FM12, I suggest downloading an eval copy.

FM has provided support for docbook since 7.2. It's been weak and
incomplete (as it still is), but it's been there. If you poke around in
the structure applications, you'll see an xdocbook app.
Wim .. in order to use docbook effectively in FM, you'll need to do a
bit of development work, both
I couldn't find any documentation of DocBook support before FM12. Not
that there's much in FM12's docs, either.

Whoa ... FrameMaker has "supported" Docbook for many releases. But the
support is generally poor, and is for a relatively ancient version of
DocBook (4.1).
Anybody who attempts to use FrameMaker for a real Docbook-based workflow
(particularly for authoring) is in for a lot of hurt. Which is a

websites where one could check out assorted layouts? Perhaps a “template

Thanks all … for your kind concerns about me trying to do a docbook experiment
in the DITA ages ….
I have been working with docbook (variants) already back in the FrameMaker 5.5
days, so for docbook has been there in FM, I know. And it still is.
In the early days this < support> was not based
I've never heard of any site like that.

I've seen very few FrameMaker templates outside of those bundled with
the application, and most if not all of the ones I've seen reflected
bad practices.

Two options come to mind --
- FrameMaker 12 ships with several new sets of templates
(File>New>Document, "Explore Templates"; or Help>Samples).
- Google "Adobe Template Pack" for a series of FrameMaker 5.5 templates
developed (long ago) by Adobe. These may provide layout ideas.
