How these alternatives were chosen
Tools FrameMaker Server names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in CMS. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
FrameMaker Server also lists MadCap Flare, Oxygen XML Editor, Paligo, Confluence, GitBook as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
