Hi Ian and Lynne, Thank you for your responses. The main reason I want to do this is because there are cross-references between the two types of files in the book (Practice Notes and Forms [Lynne, this will ring a bell]). If I pass a single XML of the book to my XSLT, then I can resolve all of the links between the individual output files (HTML5). I will think about your responses and try to figure out the best approach for this project. I can also do some scripting to get around having a combined structured application if that works better. Thanks again.

The easiest way is if your book components are XML files already is to set the properties for each XML book component (Esc b c p). If you're using FrameMaker documents as your book components then it's not quite as simple. It may be possible to set the XML app on a folder component so that all sub-documents of that folder use the same XML app. After that I've used ExtendScript to manage the correct XML application for each file, but that does require a custom book save script. The other thing that needs consideration is whether you are saving the entire book to XML or just its component files.

Each structured application calls a different XSLT stylesheet. Is there a way to save the book to XML and have FrameMaker use the correct struct apps for each file? Otherwise, maybe I combine the DTDs and stylesheets and use a single structured application? Suggestions are appreciated. Rick Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc.
