When your organization transitions from “traditional” publication methodologies to XML and DITA, it’s a good time to consider the tool that your authors use to create content. There are two competing schools of thought on XML authoring: use a more familiar WYSIWYG tool (such as Adobe FrameMaker) or use a newer tool that is much closer to XML (such as XMetaL from Just Systems). Both FrameMaker and XMetaL provide some level of integration with DITA, which makes them both viable candidates. This presentation uses live demonstrations to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of both FrameMaker and XMetaL when working with DITA. The presentation shows the highlights of both tools, the authoring experience, generating output, conditional processing, working with conrefs, map files, and specialization. The presentation concludes with a series of guidelines to help you assess your situation and which tool might be best for you.
