Popularity of FrameMaker and Web Works Publisher; Suitability of Adobe Robohelp
Subject:Popularity of FrameMaker and Web Works Publisher; Suitability of Adobe Robohelp From:"Ronald Schwarz" <RSchwarz -at- cosmocom -dot- com> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Mon, 6 Aug 2007 09:49:51 -0400
Can someone confirm for me if FrameMaker is falling out of favor? What, if anything, is taking its place? Online documentation?
Is Quadralay Webworks Publisher compatible with FrameMaker 8? I was notified some months ago that Qaudaraly considered Webworks Publisher passé and was pushing a new product. Has anyone had any experience with the replacement for Webworks?
Is Adobe's new Robohelp better for FrameMaker? Can RoboHelp directly convert FM documents to online help (OLH)? Does Adobe Robohelp OLH still require "tweaking?"
Can any of these products export directly to a wiki?
