Hello,
I am currently evaluating if Framemaker can be used as an alternative editor in a predominantly OxygenXML based authoring environment with standard DITA.
Now I have found that it already fails when using keys in the following way (I have prepared files, but found no way to add them to this post):
bookmap:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE bookmap PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA 1.3 BookMap//EN" "bookmap/dtd/bookmap.dtd" [
]>
<bookmap>
<booktitle>
<mainbooktitle>BOOKTITLE MAINBOOKTITLE</mainbooktitle>
</booktitle>
<chapter navtitle="test">
<topicref href="testtopic.dita"></topicref>
</chapter>
<appendix>
<keydef keys="name" href="testkey.dita" />
</appendix>
</bookmap>
testkey file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">
<topic id="testkey">
<title>testkeys</title>
<body>
<p id="testid">paragraph inserted via conkeyref.</p>
</body>
</topic>
and the testtopic file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">
<topic id="testtopic">
<title>testtopic</title>
<body>
<p conkeyref="name/testid"/>
</body>
</topic>
When opening the bookmap in Framemaker, it does not recognize the key.
Now this is a problem, because we have thousands of documents built on this principle and we are going to continue using this principle.
Is there a way to get Framemaker to comply with this requirement ?
Thanks in advance.
Christophe
