I think the big issue is to know what the structure of this is. For example, do you have something like:
<Fig> <FigTitle>Widget Illustration</FigTitle> <FigImage attributes="many" /> </Fig> In which case you can format the FigTitle as you see fit. However, the FigImage may appear weird (at first) if you then Esc m p the thing (hope that makes sense). I take the EDD and change FigTitle to have a suffix of \r to force a line break after the caption... If you simply have this: <Fig> <FigImage attributes="many" /> </Fig> The it gets a bit more tricky. Can't come up with a functional solution right away, but I'm sure it's out there. Can you email more info with the 'rules' you associate with the figure that you are working with? Having the text frame inside the anchored frame is a real headache (my opinion) and I strongly suggest busting them out. If you have a lot of them, you could do so by using a FrameScript (right Rick?). You can use the keep with next/prev features to ensure the caption and image stay together. Finally, a single cell table with a title above/below would also do the trick and give you cleaner XML. Feel free to email me a sample file (off list) and I can review it quickly.

I cannot see that it is possible, however, to specify this in an EDD. Is there any way of doing this, perhaps by somehow automatically inserting a named reference page object, or would it be better to pull the figure title out of the anchored frame, make it a separate element, and deal with the potential for separation of the figure and its title in some other way? I see that DocBook documents, for example, appear to place graphics frame anchors within the figure title element. Fine - unless the anchored frame is floated. -- Steve _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as bernard at publishingsmarter.com.
