For FM8 and DITA.

IF I choose NOT to use DITA > Build FM DITABook from DITA map file OR DITA > Build FM Document from DITA map, THEN what can I generate:


  * Directly from FrameMaker using that DITAMAP file?
  * Indirectly using one or another third-party process or tool (DITA-OT,
  Adobe RoboHelp for FrameMaker, etc.?

I'm slowly assembling topics of various standard types (concept, task, reference) into a FrameMaker DITAMAP file. I've already figured out how to turn these XML-based topics back into a FrameMaker book or DITABook and thus a PDF, but I'm hoping my options are a bit broader than that.

Or am I missing the point of the DITAMAP file, entirely? (Which I'll at this point may be the case...)

Cheers & thanks,
Riley
