Working in structured documents is different from unstructured FrameMaker documents. In the Authoring Structured Documents course, you’ll learn how structured documents work, how to edit structure, and how to work with attributes. You’ll also learn about elements and how their appearance is controlled by an EDD. You’ll create documents from scratch and add content using elements and attributes, including table elements, which are quite different from tables in unstructured FrameMaker documents.

Then you’ll use the document you’ve created to generate a book, a table of contents, and an index.

Defining Structure teaches you how to create the rules that determine the hierarchy of elements in a structured structured FrameMaker document. If you are familiar with SGML DTDs, an EDD contains all the structure rules of a DTD and the formatting rules of a FOSI or stylesheet. You’ll create an EDD from scratch and modify it as you encounter further structure and formatting requirements.
