RE: Problems with special characters

Mathieu, Alt+242 was the code for the greater or equal than symbol in the US MS-DOS codepage 437. This character is not available in the Windows Western European codepage (1252) or the matching MS-DOS codepage 850. The character is, however, available in the Symbol font. To use this character

RE: Problems with special characters

Greater or equal is alt-0179 (I believe the 0 is required). You probably need to wrap this in symbol font. Peter Original Message Dear all, I have a tough time finding shortcuts for special characters. On the Internet, I found an Ascii table

Techniques for debugging EDDs?

Dear Frame Gurus I have a fairly complex EDD out with end-users, and most of the bugs have been ironed out and things are working well. However, one element is still giving problems, an ordered list with nested child elements. Without going into what might or might not be the problem, although

Steve, It's not clear from your message whether the problem is that the formatting is not correct or that FM does not report errors in a structure that should be invalid. Remember that the logic of format rules is independent of whether the document is valid. The context specifications

Re: Workaround for marker character limit?

Hi Kay... I haven't looked into this much, but I believe that the limit is in the FrameMaker UI, not the underlying marker support mechanism. Programmatically, you can add many more than 255 characters to a marker (try adding more content to the marker as a MIF, then re-open in FM and you'll

Re: problems getting rid of Name Tree Dests

Hi Karen A while ago we needed to track down multiple named destinations and someone in our group worked out how. He generated an Alphabetical List of Markers of type Cross-Ref, which includes the marker ID. Then he saved that as text and imported it into Excel. The IDs end up in one column that

Re: Workaround for marker character limit?

I just ran a quick test using FrameScript and the limit (as suggested below) appears to be with the UI. I was able to create a marker with 3000 characters. You should be able to create a script (or an FDK client if you don't have FrameScript) to enter these values. Unfortunately, the

Re: Workaround for marker character limit?

Frank, Scott, Very interesting. I created a MIF file in which I inserted an Index marker containing 900 characters and also a variable whose definition had 900 characters. I opened the MIF file and saved the result back to MIF. Both 900-character strings were still there, so the entire

Problems with special characters

Dear all, I have a tough time finding shortcuts for special characters. On the Internet, I found an Ascii table which specifies ALT + 242 for "greater or equal than" ; unfortunately, when I type that, an "equal" character appears. I modified the regional options on my computer (set to French

Techniques for debugging EDDs?

Hi Steve, Do your format rules have a final "Else" statement? If so, change it to a tag that is horrible, for example, red, bold, 48pts, italic, underline with a new font face. This then will let you see what happens to "exceptions". If you didn't plan for it, then you see the ugly layout
