Getting close on FrameMaker 8 books
Tuesday, April 29, 2008 — posted by Sarah
We have nearly finished the content updates for the new unstructured FrameMaker 8 book (Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FrameMaker 8). That leaves proofreading, production, and indexing.Barring any unforeseen problems (and there are always unforeseen problems), the book should be available as a PDF download in mid-May when we ship it to the printer. The printed versions will be available a few weeks later.
Highlights:
- We are offering print and PDF versions. If you purchase the print version, the PDF version is included. In addition to search and live links, the PDF version offers instant gratification (you can download it) and is free of extortionate international or express shipping charges (because you download it).
- We explain how to use the new Unicode support for text and dialog boxes.
- We updated the workflow and output chapters.
- We nipped, tucked, and generally improved the content, and hopefully did a better job than this.
- We have rewritten the conditional text chapter to cover the new complex conditionals. I believe that Terry Smith is now the only person in the world who actually understands how to use this feature.
- We refreshed screen shots.
- We corrected errors and embarrassing spelling errors. (And probably introduced some new ones. Oh well.)
