With or without FrameMaker experience, authors will find this training a valuable investment of their time. The purpose of this course is to show how Structured FrameMaker helps writers create consistently organized documents, and how it validates their content against a set of rules for a series of required elements.
In Structured FrameMaker, elements are small units of information such as headings, paragraphs, and lists. Each of these items may contain a series of attributes that include descriptive information, control formatting, or support cross referencing. If you want to promote organizational consistency across your documents, you must create a unified set of rules that define which elements appear in each type of topic. In a multi-authoring environment, a tool that requires the consistent use and placement of information pays for itself. Structured FrameMaker promotes adherence to organizational guidelines by requiring authors to validate content against your rules.

Validating content against a standard does not require your authors to become XML experts. Structured FrameMaker hides all the scary details, and presents your writers with a set of tools that are easy to understand and use.
