XML and FrameMaker

This book is designed to teach anyone working in data-intensive publishing how XML can be leveraged to make the job of presenting data easier. While the XML discussions within the book are general, FrameMaker is used for all of the examples since it supports a wide variety of XML import and export options. In addition, author Kay Ethier shows you how FrameMaker's powerful formatting features lend themselves to publishing XML documents—without reworking them.

This book is written for a professional audience, including writers, database administrators, developers, and production staff. Ethier shows you how to

• Capture or emit XML from existing documents or databases
• Use XML to create documents that may be published to many other formats
• Build an "XML round-trip" for Adobe FrameMaker 7
