FrameMaker 8 DITA Technical Reference

FrameMaker 8 provides support for creating, editing, and publishing DITA 1.0 content. You can use FrameMaker to author and publish DITA content as high-quality print and PDF output, or you can create content elsewhere and use FrameMaker strictly for publishing print and PDF output.

The FrameMaker 8 and DITA Technical Reference offers guidance on how to best integrate DITA and FrameMaker.

 

The unstructured interface of FrameMaker 8 is ideal for publishing complex documents. Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FrameMaker 8 helps you implement automated workflows that let technical communicators focus on creating content instead of struggling with tedious formatting tasks.

NOTE: We have postponed publication of our other FrameMaker 8 book, Publishing Fundamentals: Structured FrameMaker 8.

 

Publishing Fundamentals: FrameMaker 7 book cover Written by long-time FrameMaker users Sarah O'Keefe and Sheila Loring, Publishing Fundamentals: FrameMaker 7 shows you how to master the many powerful features of FrameMaker 7. This comprehensive guide explains the basics, such as creating a new document, and advanced topics, such as converting to XML. The book also covers both the structured and unstructured interfaces and explains new features, such as WebDAV.

Formerly published as FrameMaker 7: The Complete Reference, Publishing Fundamentals has nearly identical pagination as The Complete Reference. Readers can easily find the same information in either book.

TW101 cover

Technical Writing 101 (second edition) explains the technical documentation process and describes the skills you need to be a successful technical writer. It also gives you the latest information on single sourcing and explains how trends in Extensible Markup Language (XML) and structured authoring affect technical writers.

Technical Writing 101 has been adopted by many technical writing programs in the US and Canada. We also use the book for our Technical Writing 101 course.
