Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Using Framemaker 7 to generate Docbook source
Hi, I'm new to Docbook. Until recently I've been using Framemaker 5.5 to write software documentation. We've recently purchased Framemaker 7, partly on the basis that it supported XML, and I'd like to use it to start producing Docbook source - so that I can output different formats from a single source, and so that non-Framemaker people (e.g. developers) can access the source. I've read up on Docbook, but I can't find any Docbook documentation that refers to Framemaker. Likewise, Framemaker 7 comes with nothing to help me get started creating Docbook files. It almost seems like it would be easier to write Docbook in a text editor - but I don't want to give up on Framemaker (not yet anyhow). Can anyone out there help? Does anyone have any experience of using Framemaker 7 for generating XML Docbook? Are there any books/websites on Framemaker for Docbook? Adobe has marketed Framemaker 7 on the back of XML, but hasn't put much effort into flattening the learning curve (which seems precipitously steep right now). If anyone can offer any help, and/or point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.
