RE: DITA: going from FrameMaker to oXygen

[Rebecca Officer <Rebecca -dot- Officer -at- alliedtelesis -dot- co -dot- nz>]

Hi David

Weâve been authoring DITA in Frame for a few years now, so our contentâs very structured. Weâve got thousands of topics and weâve tried not to take advantage of Frameâs latitude. We do have some Frame-specific processes, like we use status settings and change bars during our pre-publication reviews, and we use Frame cross-references. Weâre still testing oXygen but we think itâll have a way to achieve the same goals.

I guess Iâm wondering what Frame folks whoâve moved to oXygen think about oXygen â what Frame features they really miss, what oXygen features they love, and any âyou really need to know thisâ kind of info.

Cheers
Rebecca

How structured is your source?
FM allows a lot of latitude.
