Jointly produced by Leximation and Silicon Publishing, DITA-FMx is a set
of plugins and structure applications that let you create and edit DITA
XML files in FrameMaker.
DITA-FMx 1.0 supports the DITA 1.0 specification and FrameMaker versions

tabbed list or text file

FrameMaker versions 7.1 and 7.2, remains available at no cost.

customer suggestions into a future version of the product. Let us know
