Leximation releases DITA-FMx 1.0
Leximation, Inc. has announced that the DITA-FMx 1.0 plug-in has been released. This plug-in improves upon the DITA support provided with FrameMaker 8, including increased coverage of the DITA specification and improvements to the authoring experience.
The DITA specification presents rather steep challenges to tool implementers. The Leximation plug-in further enhances FrameMaker as an option for DITA authoring and publishing. Given the complexities of XSL-FO for generating PDF output, and the recent uncertainty regarding PDF support in the DITA Open Toolkit, FrameMaker should be especially appealing for organizations that need high-quality PDF output from DITA.
The DITA-FMx 1.0 plug-in supports DITA version 1.0. Support for DITA 1.1 is forthcoming, and will be provided at no charge to those who purchase DITA-FMx 1.0.
