Support for Unicode
Edit and create content in multiple languages, and author content for global audiences with dictionary and hyphenation support for more languages.

New DITA support
Use a prebuilt DITA application to author, publish, and distribute topic-oriented information in XML and create DITA maps.

Support for rich media
Create more engaging online documentation by incorporating 3D models, rich Adobe Flash® Player compatible animations, and simulations created with Adobe Captivate™ software. Generate Adobe PDF files with live 3D models. (Windows® only)

Text edit tracking
Highlight, accept, and reject text changes.

Enhanced conditional output
Effortlessly single-source variations of the same document for different channels and purposes. Use conditional tags and build complex Boolean expressions for defining output filters in structured and unstructured mode and easily distinguish multiconditional text through improved color coding.
Use attribute values to control conditional output in structured mode.
Preserve comments, variables, and conditional text when importing and exporting structured content and migrating XML content. Now you can roundtrip web-based graphics in XML workflows. (Windows only)
Import CSS formatting into your structured application in FrameMaker — you no longer need to change and update the formatting manually in each element to match your CSS.
Import content created in Microsoft Word 2007 and Excel 2007.
