Documenting the God Particle: FrameMaker in the CERN

The discovery of the God particle or the Higgs-Boson particle is in the news everywhere. One must wonder how large laboratories maintain detailed documentation regarding experiments and results.

CERN has been a long term user of FrameMaker and this is a matter of great pride for us. As Peter Gold mentioned in the FrameMaker User Forum (and thanks to him for pointing this out):

“FrameMaker is like a religion to many of us long-time users. No surprise, then, that FrameMaker played a role in the discovery of the ‘God particle’.”

The CERN has also been a source of great documentation for FrameMaker users in the past. Some examples:

• How to use the FrameMaker User Guide Templates
• Writing documents for paper and WWW: A strategy based on FrameMaker and WebMaker

Here’s to an exciting future full of discoveries!
