You can follow this tutorial to generate an XML file from a FrameMaker book.
1. Open the FrameMaker document like FM-Document-Example.fm.
2. Select the FrameMaker document in the document panel, if you have multiple documents open. Then click "File > Save As" menu You see the "Save Document" screen.
3. Enter the text file name like "FM-Document-Example". And make sure that "Save as type" is set to "XML (*.xml)".
4. Click "Save".
5. Wait for FrameMaker to finish generating the XML file.
6. Go to the folder where the XML file was saved. You actually see two files generated:
FM-Document-Example.xml - Contains XML code for the document FM-Document-Example.css - Contains display CSS styles
