Using DITA map to build FrameMaker book

["Barbara Stuhlemmer" <barbstuhlemmer -at- rogers -dot- com>]

Good morning all:

 

I have content that has been written in XML using DITA standards. The DITA
map was created by XMetaL for DITA 1.1. FrameMaker 8.0 has a tutorial on how
to build a book from a DITA map but when I follow the steps I get errors and
FrameMaker crashes. 

 

Possible problems: 

FrameMaker cannot use DITA 1.1 yet, 

FrameMaker cannot read an XMetaL generated DITA map

I have screwed something up in the content

 

I do not have the error message but if someone felt they wanted to know it I
can go through the steps again I just have to find the tutorial again :-)

 

Has anyone been successful converting content using a DITA map to a
FrameMaker book? If so what is your ‘take’ on the issue I am having?

 

Thanks for your input.
