Dear all, I came across the following situation (FM-9, but this does not matter):
- A documentation company using the French version of FM has developed the template and created documentation, for example, a maintenance manual. Since they are `French´ the template uses style names such as texte, titre-1 and titre-2. The table of contents file is named xyzTDM.fm and the relevant style names are titre-1TDM and titre-2TDM (Table De Matières). - It is not a problem using the German version of FM to maintain such a book and re-generate the table of contents. Everything works fine. - But when you use this `French´ template for a new FM book, you are not happy with the results when adding the table of contents to the book. Although you set up the TOC file with suffix TDM, the existing style names titre-1TDM and titre-2TDM are not used by the process. Instead new style names titre-1IVZ and titre-2IVZ (InhaltsVerZeichnis) are defined and used for example in the reference page. This seems to be a result of an early mislead localistion process (similar to the attempt of MS to translate the macro language of Word, which created havoc). How to get a correctly formatted table of contents with the German FrameMaker? I see only this method: - Make a copy of the template and rename the 'automatic' 'french' style names to 'german' ones: titre-1TDM => titre-1IVZ - The flow on the reference page must be renamed from TDM to IVZ. - Build the book from this template - Insert a TOC using the 'german' suffix IVZ to avoid confusion. The process will use the 'german' styles titre-1IVZ etc. and the TOC will be correctly formatted from the beginning. Is this correct? I expected that the setting of the suffix would also influence the naming of the automatically generated styles and reference page - but this is wishful thingking Klaus Daube ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Docu + Design Daube; Schäracher 11; CH-8053 Zürich Technical documentation & consultancy; On-line and paper F: +41-44-422 86 25 E: d...@daube.ch W: www.daube.ch _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
