Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Using DocBook 4.1 with FrameMaker+SGML 6.x

[Lee Goldschmidt <wleegold@voicenet.com>]

Hello,
The subject of using XML with FM +SGML (both importing and exporting) is of
great interest to me.  I would like to add  the following questions to
Kevin's question:


1.  Is anybody aware of an EDD for FM+SGML that is derived from version 4.x
of the DocBook DTD.  (Version 6 of FM +SGML  comes with an EDD that is
derived  from Version 2.2.1.  of the DocBook DTD)

2. Is anybody aware of any plug-ins, filters, or procedures that facilitate
importing XML into FM +SGML.

Thanks in advance

Lee Goldschmidt
