I've been tasked by my company to select a structured XML authoring tool and I've narrowed my selection to FrameMaker 9 and Arbortext. At first I didn't consider FrameMaker because I wasn't aware of the XML import / export tool version 9 has. My concern is 2 fold. #1 I'm having difficulty finding a resource to develop an EDD. My company manufactures aircraft components and most of my contacts use XML based products, not SGML to produce Air Transportation Association (ATA) compliant component maintenance manuals . #2, I've noticed some blogs where there was some issues with FrameMaker when importing or exporting XML docs or DTDs. How well does FrameMaker 9 really import / export XML docs or DTDs? I understand there will be inherint difficulties due to inclusion / exclusion elements of an SGML document based EDD converting to an XML document based on a XML DTD. Can anyone share their experience on these two points? Thank you in advance (o:
