I've been chewing on the responses, not finding much new to contribute to the discussion, but I wanted to throw in two cents to something Tim ... Would the...
Well, having watched this one go round the houses, I finally decided to dive in and deposit $0.02. I advocate designing semantically rich schemas. Going for...
Larry, I think you have inadvertantly concluded that one the things that XML is "good" for is making technical writers think and talk explicitly about...
Jim; A great example of Gabriel tooting his own horn: I like it! Your post (and this is my two cents worth) and others like it moves this whole discussion...
... I'd guess that most writers looking at XML are looking too closely, seeing DTDs, tags, attributes, and not the wide-angle view of *how* we do what we do...
Thank you Jim. We need more data points like yours to better understand when it makes sense to move away from the book paradigm, what's involved, at what cost...
... Heh. I deserved that for my snippy blog comment. I thought Hakon and Don were very generous in providing "blogging on a bad day" as one of the motivations...
Tim, I appreciate your reply, thanks. You're right to point out that many folks won't need such a heavyweight approach to marking up their technical...
Hi, sorry to bother you but I'm trying to create a dream database. I created an XML document and I got the DTD but I don't know how to put the dream elements...

Hi All I have been watching this thread with great interest and I think it's time I chimed in. ... This is exactly what I'm doing at the moment. I agree it has...
Hi, Haven't got an answer for you but you've spelt dream_interpreation wrong in one place, which can't help much. Good luck, Tom. ... From: Janis Rough...
hey thanks a whole lot. i've tried reading everything in a short amount of time and the easiest way to learn seems to be just do it. i'm now reading the...
Right on Larry. It's fairly typical in the software industry to have techncial writers directly associated with engineering groups where they can get a certain...
... That's pretty much the current setup I'm using, except I'm using 7.0 (because Adobe in their nonexistent wisdom dropped MacOS development). Like you, I...
There are successful, long-lived, examples of structured (or at least semi-structured) documentation systems that provide single-sourcing capabilities for...
Hi Larry et al ... I would agree 100% with you there! To me, getting the structure right is ***the*** most critical aspect of the whole exercise and it's...
For Immediate Release Content Engineering Organization Launches Wiki-Based Web Site for Collaborative Authoring and Online Publishing Research Triangle Park,...
What I want is a tool that enables me to: - Author thousands of structured, inter-related topics, in a series of large source files - create cross references...
Hi Jim What you need is a content management system, preferrably one that integrates with FM. If you are already using structured FM you are half-way there. ...

Goal: Make it easy to populate a troubleshooting database with previously prepared data. Real world things over which we have no control: . The troubleshooting...
I think this thread is great! It has everyone discussing possibilities, pitfalls, and real-life work. ... My first structured Frame project was a self-paced...
