Oxygen uses the DITA-OT for output, like most others,
so it was directly applicable to Oxygen whether the
editor used was Oxygen or not.

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.

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
great.
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 an
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 tools.
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?

I don't see anywhere in RoboHelp 9 where I could map FrameMaker

The only reference to FM markers I can find is in the FrameMaker
Conversion Settings dialog, where you can define the CSH marker type
(default is TopicAlias).
I find RoboHelp problematic in too many ways to re

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

So I have no legacy FM content, o
I made great progress today. I was able to open the DITA files and get them
pretty consistent with new master pages, etc.

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.

I have not done DITA with FM before, but I seem to be learning fast
(despite the seeming utter randomness of related documentation - lots of
reference info, lots of specific procedures, but no single "Here's the
procedure to build a user guide in a DITA environment" doc).
I got into a project with

PDF? I want

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
