Understand the different content authoring environments in Adobe FrameMaker for unstructured and
structured content (XML) editing and how to choose between them.
In this topic
+ Introduction
+ Choose an authoring mode
+ FrameMaker mode
+ Structured FrameMaker mode
Introduction
‘Adobe FrameMaker offers the following authoring modes:
+ FrameMaker mode
+ Structured FrameMaker mode
+ XML Source Code Editor
Depending on whether you take the structured or unstructured approach to content authoring or if you
want to edit XML source code, you can choose an appropriate authoring mode for your content.
Choose an authoring mode
The first time you launch FrameMaker, the default authoring mode is set to Structured FrameMaker. You
can change the mode from the Preferences dialog:
1) Choose Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog
2) Inthe Preferences dialog, choose Global > General.
3) Inthe Product interface drop-down lis, select the FrameMaker mode and click OK.
You are prompted to restart FrameMaker for the changes to take effect.
The FrameMaker user interface provides for a seamless transition between unstructured and Structured
FrameMaker authoring, The menu options and other user interface elements are consistent between both
the modes. The options, however, are specific to the mode in which you are authoring‘AutHotine moves
FrameMaker mode
General description
ec po ge
‘The FrameMaker mode is ideal for authoring content that need not be tied to a rigid structure. The
style-based authoring relies on a template to define the presentation of content. Paragraph, character,
table, and object styles are often based on style guides, and content writing rules specified by editors. You,
as an author, decide the content flow and formatting. For example, depending on the nature of your
content, you may include headings followed either by paragraphs or by graphics. This means that in a
unstructured authoring workflow, you create relatively free-flow documents that are largely style-based.
A typical workflow for standard authoring in FrameMaker comprises the following tasks
+ Create single documents.
+ Compile multiple documents in a book.
+ Specify how content is presented by defining paragraph, character, table, and object styles
+ Create templates providing predefined styles, that can be shared with multiple authors.
+ Use the Document window to author the content.
+ Work in any of the supported formats: standard documents (.. fi), Maker Interchange Format docu-
ments (.mif), and books (. book),

Use the Structured FrameMaker mode for documents that need to adhere to a structure. The structure is
defined by the elements and attributes that are available as well as the valid location of these elements in
the structure,
Every object of a document - for example, a paragraph, a section, a topic, or a table - is expressed as an
element. When you create a structured document, you need to ensure that every element is present at a
structurally valid location. Structured authoring ensures consistency of structure across similar pieces of
content.
Following are some examples of structural rules:
+ Abulleted list must contain at least three items.
+ Asection must start with a heading,
+ Aheading must be followed by a paragraph
+ Atable must have a heading row.
+ Agraphic must have a caption.
A typical workflow for structured authoring in FrameMaker comprises the following tasks
+ Create individual structured documents or include multiple documents in a DITA map or a book.
+ Use the existing structured samples or create a custom structure based on EDDs or DTDs.
+ Include the right elements to define the flow of content. Some elements also include formatting infor-
mation that you can use to specify styles.
10‘AutHotine moves
+ The underlying structure ensures consistency across content in a multi-author environment
+ Use the Elements catalog or keyboard shortcuts to insert new elements for text, images, tables, and
other objects.
+ Use the Structure View to navigate through your document and also move elements around, The
Structure View also indicates the validity of your document against the underlying structure.
+ Author in any ofthe supported formats: structured documents (. fm), XML documents (. xml, dita),
and books (. book, .ditamap).

You can also choose to work with unstructured documents in the Structured mode. All features of the

New Navigation view for FrameMaker documents
While authoring, its very helpful to know the overall structure of the document that you are working
on. Scrolling through a long document does provide this information, but it is not a seamless
experience.
The latest release of FrameMaker provides a single unified view of the headings or structure of your
current document. Open the new Navigation View, and the structure of your current document is
displayed in the Navigation View panel. This feature is currently supported for only style-based
FrameMaker documents. The logic used in this feature gives you alist ofall headings and subheadings
within your document,

Language-specific smart quotes
FrameMaker is a multi-lingual authoring and publishing solution. Itis very common to see a single
document getting authored and published in multiple languages. Every language has its own
linguistic-specific syntax, semantics, and alphabetical systems. To give you a better control over your
authoring, FrameMaker allows you to specify language-specific smart quotes.
You can define the single and double quotes that FrameMaker should use while authoring. A new set
of Smart Quotes setting has been introduced in the FrameMaker Preferences dialog that allows you to
specify the quotes as per your language. To access the Smart Quote settings, go to Edit > Preferences >
Spelling > Smart Quotes. Once defined, FrameMaker picks up the quotes you have defined for your
language from the Smart Quote settings or the language defined in the paragraph style.

Smarter footnote handling
If you are using footnotes extensively, you will like the enhancements in the latest FrameMaker
release. In case your document contains a series of footnotes, FrameMaker smartly utilizes the
available space on the page to accommodate as many footnotes as possible. If there's no more space
left on the page, then FrameMaker automatically moves the footnote on to the next page and resets
the footnote numbering to provide a correct reference. Whether you are working on a single-column
or multi-column document, your footnotes will show up correctly in their respective column, The
footnotes and their source references will now be in the same column.

Split documents into chapters
Whenever you migrate content from one platform to another, the first challenge after importing is to
chunk the migrated content. Chunking of large documents could take you a long time. With the latest
release of FrameMaker, you can do this complex task in minutes.
‘Once you have your content imported into FrameMaker, launch the document splitting feature from
File > Utilities > Split Current Document to easily split your long documents. This feature lets you
work on one file at a time, which gives you more control on how the splitting process works. You can
choose to split your document on the basis of markers or paragraph formats.
There's a preview feature as well that shows you how the final output will be generated, Ifyou are not
satisfied with the suggested structure, you also have an option to merge or split topics. This gives you
more control on how you want your final book and chapters to generate

introduced before or after punctuation or special
characters. With even better handling of spaces and
punctuation, the spell check is more accurate than
before. The spell check considers punctuation, which
would otherwise get flagged as an incorrect word,

Quick access to maps and book files
‘The book window displays the list of files that are a part of the book. You can open multiple books
(book) and DITA maps (di tamap) in the same session. When you open three or more book files,
the book tabs start overlapping, With overlapped tabs, books having similar starting characters can
make it a bit complex to identify the right book.
FrameMaker gives you an easy way to navigate to the right book with just one click. Click the = icon
on the book window, and you have the list ofall books or map files opened in the current session,
Select the book or map file from the list to shift focus on that book/map.

Simultaneous document and book view for DITA maps
7\Wha’'s New i ADOBE FRAMEMAKER
Whenever you switched to the Document View of your map file, the book view or the view of DITA
‘map files would no longer be visible. This way, you will not have the information about the files in your
DITA map. Many of you would like to make updates in a DITA map file using the Document View and
also wanted the list of files in your map to be available at the same time.
The latest release of FrameMaker allows you to work in the Document View while retaining the book
or DITA map view. This means that you can now work on all views — WYSIWYG, Document View, or
XML View at the same time without losing out on the book view.

Instantaneous switching between views‘Whar’ new i ADoBe FRaweMAKex
Ina typical authoring environment, you could be working with different types of documents at a time.
‘You might have a FrameMaker document open along with a structured document, and in different
views — WYSIWYG or XML. WYSIWYG View is available for all document types, but the XML view is
specific to DITA/XML documents. If you switch to XML View, then all non-XML documents are taken
off from the interface. To work on them, you have to switch back to the WYSIWYG view. This switching
between views takes a few extra seconds from your authoring time.
With the new FrameMaker, you can seamlessly work on different formats of documents in different
views without losing any document from focus. This means that you can have the XML View open for
your structured document and also switch to an FrameMaker document, without having to change
the view from the toolbar. FrameMaker now maintains the document view at a document level. You
can work on the XML View or WYSIWYG view for structured or FrameMaker documents — all at the
same time
See a video on Instantaneous switching between views.
Superior CSS 3 styling support
For any FrameMaker application, an Element Definition Document or EDD contains element
definitions, attribute definitions, formatting rules, and other supporting information governing
insertion of elements.
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) store the formatting information for the elements, Most advanced
users are comfortable working with CSS to define the styling and formatting information for their
content. FrameMaker gives you an enhanced CSS import feature that lets you import styling
information directly from CSS. With support for the latest CSS 3 standards, you get more control over
your content's style and presentation. in addition, you can import these CSS 3 formats directly into
your structured document's EDD to create more presentable and good-looking documents.\Wha’'s New i ADOBE FRAMEMAKER

release of FrameMaker, this feature has been further enhanced and made much more powerful The
new Structure View is now also available while working in the XML View. This means that the Tree

Improved WYSIWYG View (XML)
In an earlier release of FrameMaker, the Simplified XML View feature was introduced to help you
author DITA documents with ease. Now, the Simplified XML View has been merged with the
WYSIWYG View. With this change, all capabilities of the Simplified XML View are now available in the
WYSIWYG View. You can use the same shortcut keys, which were available in the Simplified View, to
do things like applying text formatting of bold (Ctrl+), italics (Ctrl+i), or underline (Ctrl+u). Other

Out-of-the-box LWDITA support
Lightweight DITA (LwDITA) is a simplified version of DITA. It consists of a much smaller set of
elements, attributes, content models, and features. It is an upcoming standard for creating structured
documentation. The latest release of FrameMaker supports LwDITA out-of-the-box. You can directly
create a LwDITA map or topic from the File > New menu.
A simple map and topic template lets create LwDITA maps and topics with ease. In addition to the
authoring templates, the out-of-the-box publishing templates help you generate output for your
LwDITA map/topics.

Acronym referencing with
In your DITA documents, you can now use the

element is being referenced, and uses either the long or
short form of the term.

The latest release of FrameMaker allows you to easily insert rich media files in your documents
Whether you are working in a FrameMaker, DITA (XML), or LwDITA document, you can easily import
video and audio files. In case of structured documents, FrameMaker inserts the video/audio files using
the valid elements. You don't have to go to the source code of your structured document to change or
apply the valid element.

the job of adding your media files. These media files are also published "as is" in the PDF and

Convert Word and Markdown content to DITA,
FrameMaker comes with a powerful Word import feature. Using this feature, you can easily convert
your Word documents into FrameMaker (. fm) files. With the latest release of FrameMaker, you can
now convert your Word documents into DITA documents, too. The process is simple and
straightforward. You need to specify the input and output folder locations along with the
conversion-mapping file and the document gets converted into DITA documents. The conversion
process gives you a set of .dita files anda .ditamap file.
To be able to convert a Word document successfully, your document should be well structured, For
example, your document should have a Title, followed by Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on, Each of the
headings should have some content in it.
You can also bring in your Markdown content into FrameMaker. The Markdown conversion uses a
built-in mapping logic. You do not need to specify any mapping file while converting your Markdown
documents. You only need to specify the input DITA map containing your Markdown file as
and the output location to convert your Markdown files to DITA,

Add reference documents within PDF output
Very often you would have a need to link additional reference documents in your source PDF. To do
this, you would first create a PDF and then use Adobe Acrobat to add the reference document as an
attachment. FrameMaker gives you a feature to add reference documents at the time of authoring
itself, When you generate your final PDF, the reference document gets added in the PDF without
having to do any additional task in Acrobat.
To add a reference document, go to Insert > Embed File in PDF or Attach File in PDF. Depending on
what PDF publishing preset you are using, you will have to choose either embed or attach file option.

Generate PDF/A- and PDF/X-compliant PDFs

There are various industry standards for creating PDF.
These standards define the purpose and usage of PDF.
For example:
PDFIX standards apply to graphics exchange and
printing-related requirements.
PDF/E standards apply to the interactive exchange of
engineering documents.
PDF/A standards apply to long-term archiving of elec-
tronic documents.
Depending on your organizational requirements, you
can define a custom standard to create PDFs. These
standards are created in the form ofa . joboptions,
file
FrameMaker allows you to use your own custom standard or the predefined standards to create
PAFIA or PDF/X-compliant PDFs. The whole process involves copying your . joboptions file to a
specific location. Thereafter, FrameMaker does the job of publishing your document using the settings
defined in the . joboptions file
