Still exploring the possibilities of DITA as a newbie...
I notice there is a CMS menu in Structured FM12.
My company is already using a Confluence system to manage documents and code. At each product release, everything in the Confluence directories is built in synch.
Is it possible to output from FM directly to this? How would I use the tools under this menu? Is it all complicated API stuff?
(I don't want to publish from FM XML to a Confluence wiki - I've seen instructions for this on the Web. I just want a mechanism to upload and track and version-manage the DITA topics.)
Also with respect to Content Management functions:
Of course, every time I change a file name or directory, all the xref links and inclusions get broken. Correcting this is very time-consuming. Is there some integrated tool between TCS5 and Confluence that I already possess to manage these link and name updates? When I was using unstructured FM, I remember it was no terrible hassle to change the name of a file in a book as there was an internal tool that handled this within Frame.
I've seen systems advertised on the Web that claim to do this but they are big and expensive and over-scaled for my purposes.
Thanks for any suggestions,
