what's hiding behind this marketing allusion?

A [spectacularly dull] document about FM and accessed from the Adobe site says, correctly

Today’s customer wants to give real-time feedback on digital content, such as reporting errors in documentation and contributing new content. This requires new in-built mechanisms.

Assuming that the adjective digital applies to on-line/.html as well as .pdf, I'm genuinely intrigued to know how I can deliver this level of interaction starting from FM source. Our first happy experiments with WebHelp have been very well received, but I see no sign there of any comment-harvesting or even just note-taking options.

    Could be referring to HTML5 output maybe hosted on a RH Server machine?

    Wishful thinking? Sounds like they're suggesting functionality in Confluence [Wiki] type products. There's nothing that webhelp or HTML or Frame would give you in the way of interactive customer feedback, that I can think of, unless you enable commenting on documents through a web server. I do make documentation produced in FrameMaker (output as PDF or HTML) available through a Confluence customer portal, where comments can be left on the manual page, but that's not anything to do with FrameMaker functionality.

    Hello David. Which plugin did you choose for importing your (Framemaker) html into Confluence?

    • What degree of rework inside Confluence
    • Were you able to preserve the heading layers; did Confluence faithfully reproduce child pages?
    • Any feedback you would like to share regarding your customers' uptake of Feedback opportunities

    Many thanks - David
