This brief blog summarizes some of the product launch videos we created to showcase enhancements to FrameMaker 11’s ability to make editing and authoring DITA or XML even easier. Two new views (Authoring and XML code) enable “content only” authoring (sans full formatting) and editing of XML code directly with “intelliprompt” to suggest the correct element. Although FrameMaker 11 is a full-fledged DITA solution “out-of-the-box”, it is still possible to create well structured documents without XML or DITA.

This feature is one of many reasons that have led industry thought leaders to pronounce FrameMaker 11 a “real” DITA authoring solution.
