Hi - Can anyone apply a condition to a textrange? Like everyone else (evidently), doing so causes FM  to crash every time. Seems as if this would be an scripting task that is rather common, and it's...

Formatting elements with pgfFmt

Hi all, I'm a complete beginner at FrameMaker and scripting of the same, and I've been tasked with converting S1000D documents in XML format into FrameMaker files using an unstructured template. I've...

Re: Formatting elements with pgfFmt

Hello Lisbeth, I am sorry but you are taking a completely wrong approach to the problem. Opening an XML file in FM and saving it as an FM file does not make it unstructured and it never will, or...

Re: Formatting elements with pgfFmt

Thanks for your quick reply, that's pretty much what I expected to hear. I'll look into option 1 and see if I can make heads or tails of it. Do you have any recommended reading for me if I want to...

Re: Formatting elements with pgfFmt

Lisbeth, Another alternative to consider is using a database publishing tool like Datazone's Miramo to convert the S1000D XML content to the unstructured FM files. It requires a bit of XSLT to map the...

Re: Formatting elements with pgfFmt

Hello Lisbeth, You will need the Structure Application Development Guide. Part 3 of that document explains all the EDD rules. The guide can be downloaded from the Adobe site. It does not matter which...

Re: Formatting elements with pgfFmt

Thanks for the information! Our current client would prefer to not have to buy or implement any new tools, but I'll keep it in mind for our own future needs.

Re: Formatting elements with pgfFmt

Hi all, I've got a bunch of XML files that I import to FrameMaker using a custom structured application based on S1000D. I would like to not show some of the data in the XML files in the final FM...

Re: Setting a condition tag on an element

Hi Lisbeth, I am doing this with a couple of files and as I am pragmatic about these things I use the EDD to assign a particular paragraph format to the data I wanted to remove. That paragraph format...

Re: Setting a condition tag on an element

Yeah, that would be the easiest thing, if it weren't for the fact that the next element (the title) needs to start on the top of the page. Having the tiny white text on the first page pushes the title...

Re: Setting a condition tag on an element

No problem. In the same EDD you can assign a special paragraph format to a title that follows a hidden element, making it stay on the same page instead of moving to the top of the new page.
