Thanks for the note. Could you be more specific as to where the errors are? I would be more than happy to fix this.
Pam,
First, you're not going to like this part, but I got two replies from people pointing out that FrameMaker isn't accessable to your volunteer collaborators. I concur. You might want to explore options that would make it easier for them, such as some form of SGML. I haven't used Frame in 5 years and thus am not familiar with the file formats it can handle.
It can't. ;) So I'm going to be working on a rather large Zope documentation project here pretty soon that is relativly independant of the 'official' material, and I have a free hand in the creation format. My requirements are that it must be an open format, preferably some subset of SGML, absolutly must run on Linux, and would be nice if it were cross platform enough to run on Windows (but not an immediate requirement). It must also publish to paper rather well. Does anyone have any suggestions? Currently for the start of the project I am using lyx and dumping it to LaTeX. I would like to find something that works like a lyx in terms of its WYSIWYM archetecture. -Michel
