Continue Reading →SiberSafe 3.3 includes improved support for XML Authoring teams that wish to use FrameMaker 7 in their document production chain. SiberSafe 3.3 offers these teams support in three key areas:
1) Legacy content conversion
2) XML Native round trip
3) FrameMaker as publishing engine for XML Content
Legacy Content Conversion: Teams with an investment in content that resides in unstructured frame documents have not previously had a good way of converting those content assets to XML. SiberSafe 3.3 introduces the configurable MIF converter that allows any legacy frame content to be converted to XML. Depending on how well the converter is configured, the resulting XML will be valid or near valid, requiring only a few changes to be valid.
XML Native Round Trip Editing: SiberLogic developed a FrameMaker plug in that allows authors to open and save XML document *including entities* as XML. Authors never need to leave the Structured view.
FrameMaker as an XML Publication engine: SiberSafe 3.3 includes a configurable FrameMaker publication driver that allows XML documents to be published to PDF using all the features of FrameMaker. Each document type (New release, product brochure, User’s Manual, etc.) can have its own template. The user can select which template to apply to the XML.
