FrameMaker is *not* a software for which you have the freedom to
modify, adapt, fix bug neither distribute (for a fee of for free) or learn
from. Hence it is not a free program and is definitely NOT an option.

But it is one of the most beautiful program which the Free Software
Community has produced.
Its learning curve is quite harsh for the first days. But the light is shining
not very far from the beginning of the learning road. After a few months,
it's like living in paradise.

HTML is actually a subset of SGML. (same for DocBook)


But please, stop advertising for proprietary software on this list.
Advertising free software helps build a better world, advertising proprietary
ones helps build an aleniated world.
