Whether youre evaluating WebWorks Publisher 6 or already creating electronic output, The WebWorks Publisher Cookbook is your guide to this powerful and challenging tool. At last, heres a complete guide to this complex software that creates HTML, XML, JavaHelp, WinHelp, and other online formats from FrameMaker files. NOTE: At this time, we arent planning to update the Cookbook for versions 7 and later of WebWorks Publisher, partially due to licensing restrictions from Quadralay. Users of ePublisher Pro should not buy the Cookbook. The Cookbook begins with a step-by-step guide to project setup, and then provides details for each of WebWorks Publishers templates.

The addition of hierarchy and metadata to content improves reuse and content management. These benefits, however, must be weighed against the time and money required to implement a structured authoring approach. The business case is compelling for larger writing organizations; they will be the first to adopt structured authoring. Over time, improvements in available tools will reduce the cost of implementing structured authoring and make it affordable for smaller organizations. 22 pages, 1.8 MB Notes: You can download more than one white paper at a time from our shopping cart.

But when it comes time to choose a tool to render XML content (in print or PDF, for example), all that independence becomes constrained by a tools limitations. Adobe FrameMaker 7 is an excellent choice for working with XML, but as with other applications, customizations are necessary to optimize the importing and exporting of XML content. This white paper explains how to integrate the structured interface of FrameMaker 7 with XML content and covers the following topics: Understanding the components of a structured FrameMaker solution Handling the limitations of tables, conditional text, and other items in the FrameMaker document model Customizing FrameMakers default handling of XML content This paper assumes basic familiarity with XML and structured authoring. 26 pages, 1.9 MB Notes: You can download more than one white paper at a time from our shopping cart.

DocFrame 2.0 offers many new features, including: JavaHelp output-From DocFrame XML output, you can generate JavaHelp 2 helpsets along with HTML and HTML Help files. Modular Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) files-Because the transformations to online formats share several functions, weve streamlined and modularized the transformation stylesheets. Specification of file names in output-Use the FileName attribute to control the names of HTML output files. Compatibility with features in FrameMaker 7.1-You can use DocFrame 2.0 with both FrameMaker 7.0 and 7.1. The DocFrame solution supports the new conditional text handling in FrameMaker 7.1 files exported to XML, and it processes cross-book linking. Expanded, in-depth documentation-The Developers Guide explains how to customize each DocFrame component, including structure, formatting, import/export of XML, and transformation of XML into online formats.

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.This document describes FrameMakers DITA support and provides guidance on how you might best integrate DITA and FrameMaker.

However, the DITA specification is silent on transforming DITA into user-readable documentation. The DITA Open Toolkit (DITA OT) fills that gap, providing a mechanism for transforming DITA content into multiple output formats, including HTML and PDF. The DITA OT formatting for both of these formats is basic, at best. This paper focuses on the changes you can make to the DITA OT HTML output to create attractive output. These modifications include changes to cascading stylesheets (CSS), headers and footers, and more advanced customizations. The paper also illustrates how you can create content-specific elements through DITA specialization. NOTE: The information in this reference covers increasingly complex changes to the DITA OT. Depending on the types of changes you decide to make, your skills should encompass these areas: XHTML (including CSS), XSLT, Ant, and XML DTDs. 19 pages.
