Hi Orly,

I would have to see the Markdown markup, but the best bet would probably be 
using structured FrameMaker. It would take some effort to set things up 
initially, but it could be a big timesaver in the long run. If you send me a 
before/after sample offlist, I will be glad to take a look at it. Thanks.

Subject: [Framers] How to format source code in FM

HI All, I have a document in Markdown (md) that I was asked to convert to FM.  
I can do it quickly using wildcards,regexs and scripts.
All is fine and good, except when I get to source code. The source code is 
formatted extremely nicely and clearly (with different colors for commands, 
comments, etc and also with code line numbers) in the MD file. I can't come 
close to it in FM without using a fair share of different, newly created para 
and char tags, etc.This is extremely frustrating because I can take the text 
and simply plunk it into Notepad++ and it gets formatted properly depending on 
the language I choose. Perhaps there is a secret setting somewhere in FM, that 
FM can read this code and understand how to format it? and save me loads of 
time. I prefer not creating a JPG or BMP of the code - because then the info 
won't be searchable in the PDF. Many Thanks for any ideas :)Happy New Year!Orly
