Good morning, I am using FM's Publish command for the first time, producing HTML output. I have a paragraph format that I want to map to an HTML heading with a class attribute (for example,…
In making an EDD for a book where one file might be a chapter (or appendix), is the Element (Container): Chapter Valid as the highest-level element? or is only the whole book (FrameBook) valid…
Every element that can be the root element of an individual file or entire book must be valid at the highest level. In your example, both Chapter and Appendix would need to be valid at the highest…
I am writing a DITA document. I am trying to change the color of the Note element choice "caution" text from black, which is the default, to red. I've tried changing things in the commonelements.mod,…
Robert, 1. If you are going to be editing EDDs, you should be familiar with the Structured Application Developer's Guide and corresponding Reference Manual. To find the latest versions, go to…
We meet a strange bug when we processing a document recently. For example, one paragraph have 3 lines, 2 lines are in the page 1, and the last line is in the page 2. So we set the Widow/Orphan…
Vincent, Does this problem occur in more than one document? What happens if you save the document as MIF, open the resulting MIF file, save that as an FM document, and then open that file?…
I want to start a very simple structured Framemaker file, so I can see how it works. If I select File > New > Explore Structured Templates > Book > Chapter and I save that file as Chapter, 1.…

I'm trying to set the column widths of a table in framemaker by importing the width from an attribute in the imported xml file. But it doesn't work... This is from my read/write rules: element…

I compose DITA topics in the XML view with the word wrap option selected. If I switch to the Author view to check something and then return to the XML view, my nicely formatted XML view with all the…
Sarah, When you switch from XML to Author (or WYSIWYG) view, FM does not "remember" the XML document at all. Instead, internally it creates a structured FM document with the same element structure…
Have just installed latest patch and cannot now change any attributes in Structured FrameMaker - FM12 crashes.
Dear Paperless, I suspect something else is wrong. Changing attribute values works in FM 12.0.2. I suggest you: 1. Reboot your machine. 2. If FM is still crashing, MIF wash your document.…
When creating a TOC, both the text and the page number link to the paragraph in the body of the document. What I need to do is change the color of only the page number in the TOC. When I create a…
As far as the original question (linking the entire TOC entry to the source location), I recommend a script that simply copies the hypertext link from the beginning of the entry to the end. As far…
Is there a way in the Autonumber Format to add a return to create a blank line between items in a list? Right now, I can only do it by removing the Autonumber format for the new paragraph and then…
Error, Your example of a figure number and figure caption on separate lines is easily supported in structured documents. One solution would be to put the figure number in an autonumber but use a…
Hi Is there a way to hide specific XML elements (really the elements and not the attributes) in the structure view? I am asking this question to know if it is possible to influence the structure…
