FrameMaker and dita map
Working with FrameMaker, when you use the menu (DITA > New DITA File) and choose a topic type (topic, task, concept, reference), FrameMaker creates a new file that starts with the "dita" element.
If you plan to create small FrameMaker files that will be components of longer files (such as several topics that will later be combined into a chapter file), note that you will need to ensure your component files do not start with the "dita" element.

Help with conrefs
We are trying to set up and customize the DITA OTK. We can't get the conrefs to work. We have played around with the WORKDIR param, with no luck whatsover. We even placed all of the *.dita files into the same directory with no changes. All we get is an empty element in the output.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
