Creating a Structure Application	47
The development process	48
Task 1. Producing an initial EDD and DTD	48
(1) Consider the main design issues.	49
(2) Set up the development environment.	49
(3) Create an initial EDD from your DTD, if you have one.	50
(4) Create an EDD, if you’re starting from scratch.	50
(5) Create an initial DTD from your EDD.	50
Task 2. Getting sample documents	51
(6) Create sample documents if you have none.	52
(7) Use document import filters to get FrameMaker documents.	53
(8) Structure unstructured FrameMaker documents if necessary.	53
Task 3. Creating read/write rules	53
(9) Analyze the details of what your application must do.	54
(10) Write rules and modify the application definition.	55
(11) Create a new version of the EDD or the DTD.	55
(12) Correct syntax errors uncovered by the parser.	55
(13) Add format rules to the EDD and import it into the template.	56
(14) Test with sample documents.	56
Task 4. Finishing your application	56
(15) Use the FDK for more complex modifications.	57
(16) Modify the DTD for direct editing.	57
(17) Modify the end-user interface.	57
(18) Assemble your application for delivery to end users.	58
