Hi Cathy...

Yes .. this is a core component of the DITA-FMx plugin. To get that feature you need to install FMx and "uninstall" the default FM8-DITA functionality.

However .. there's no reason to be scared! :)

It is very easy to switch back and forth between the two tools, so you can install FMx and make sure it's going to do what you want before committing to anything.

The FM8-DITA "uninstallation" process is just a matter of commenting out the default DITA plugins in the maker.ini file. The DITA-FMx installer adds the necessary entries to the maker.ini file but doesn't remove the FM8-DITA entries (this is so that you know how to enable/disable these things on your own). The DITA-FMx installer also creates a DITA-FMx folder in the main FM8 folder, and you'll need to copy the structure applications into the right place. Follow these instructions carefully and you'll be good to go ..

If you run into any problems you can email or call us at Leximation, and we'll help you out.

We also have a plugin (free) that lets you switch between the two DITA options by just choosing an menu item.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,
