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.

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 Zimmerman _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected] _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected]
