I'd like to use Frame 7 to write software manuals in xdocbook. The documentation that comes with Frame 7 is too heavyweight for me. Does anyone know of a good Getting Started guide to using Frame to generate docbook markup? I particularly need to know how I go about formatting the elements I want to use in Frame (by editing an EDD?).

Frame 7 seems to have the capability of letting you write documentation in docbook, but assumes a developer will do all the application stuff before it goes anywhere near a technical writer. Unfortunately, this is not so.

If anyone knows of a good Frame-7-based "Getting started with xdocbook", please let me know.
