16.2.1.2.2 Configuring chapter maps for FrameMaker
8 import
If you expect to import your DITA output into
FrameMaker version 8, make sure there is a single top-level topic in
each chapter map; then the book-level map will work as expected. What
happens depends on whether your book-level ditamap references other ditamaps
or DITA files:
- If your book-level ditamap references other ditamaps
that reference DITA files, and you ask FrameMaker 8 to make your book-level
map into a FrameMaker book, you will get an error message (“processing
instruction ignored”) for each file, but the resulting book, and
all its chapters, will be correct.
- If your book-level ditamap references DITA files
directly, each DITA file (or each nested set of topicrefs) will become
a chapter, which may be desirable for such purposes as creating a library
of DITA topics to be referenced elsewhere as insets.
The Leximation DITA-FMx plug-in permits both.
