SPEAKER: 
RUSS WARD
Russ Ward is an active technical writer and independent consultant with
extensive structured FrameMaker experience. He presents and trains
frequently on the software, and also develops advanced plugins for
leveraging the value of structured documents. Russ' software, available at
www.weststreetconsulting.com, allows powerful single-sourcing within the
FrameMaker interface, using the structural markup to identify and process
content.

PRESENTATION TITLE:
Leveraging the Power of Structure within FrameMaker:  From "Real"
Conditional Text to XSLT

PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION:
Structured FrameMaker has all rich markup of a basic XML document, with
elements, attributes, hierarchies, and relationships. It makes sense,
therefore, that advanced structure-based technologies should be applicable
within the FrameMaker interface, even though a structured FrameMaker
document is not "real" XML. 

Come see what you can really do with all that markup, including conditional
text and text insets like they should be, and even advanced concepts such as
XPath/XSLT, all without ever leaving Frame. If you are tired of looking at
magenta-colored conditional text and that cryptic "In / Not In / As Is"
business, this session is for you. Note that this session will have some,
but not exclusive, focus on the commercial FrameSLT product offered by West
Street Consulting, an XSLT emulator plug-in for Structured FrameMaker. 

SCHEDULE:
This presentation is scheduled for November 9th, day 3 of the conference.
