RE: Using XML with FrameMaker
Max, Correct me if I'm wrong, but during the webinar introducing FM12 some weeks back, didn't they show that you could switch to this mode in FM (as some kind of menu choice) so that you are effectively running FM XML Author 12? I know that this is much less powerful than the full FM12 Structured, so you really don't want to do this because you are effectively restricting the functionality of the product you have. But the advantage of this is that you can (without installing something new, risking conflict, etc. etc) see exactly what FM XML Author gives you to work with. This can be great for evaluating whether it will be useful in your particular situation or not. One further note on Structured FM usage: I routinely work on unstructured documents, but my FM 11 (at work) and FM 10 (at home) are both set to start up in structured mode. Except for appearance of the extra menu choices, working in structure mode does not affect the ability to work in unstructured document. Those don't get in my way and I can work seamlessly on either kind of document. Thanks.

Re: Using XML with FrameMaker
Thanks everyone. Actually, I contacted Adobe "support" (cough) and all they could tell me was that it can "save as" and "import" XML. That didn't seem right so, after posting this, I searched a little further and found the XML mode in FrameMaker.

Re: Using XML with FrameMaker
Yes .. FrameMaker works directly with XML (has since FM7.1). FM11 (and 12) even have a "code view" mode that lets you edit the XML markup directly. ...scott On 3/24/14 8:31 AM, Mark Soiseth wrote: Hi, We're finally using FrameMaker here. I've used it since 5.5.6 but here's a situation I've not seen before. Before, they were using Word and an XML-based authoring system. Word did not play nicely with their automated review process, but, with their XML documents, the author could sign the file out of the repository, then send it automatically for review. The review and any changes would come back directly, whereupon, the author could make changes and check it back into the repository. What is important here is that the reviewer can view the raw XML file; the author does not need to convert or export anything. Now, FrameMaker can export into XML, but doing so would break the automated process and they would be reduced to doing like I have to do with Word: e-mail chunks of text or save them somewhere on the network, etc. So, my question is this: can FrameMaker work directly with XML? Or does FrameMaker only work with its binary *.FM file? Thanks for this.
