I'm ignorant in this area, but what about swapping the MD coding for RTF coding? It could be done with a multi-step VBA macro, then imported as a Word file.
Dave Creamer IDEAS Training ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Jan 2020 12:29:59 -0800 From: Robert Lauriston <[email protected]> Markdown itself doesn't have syntax highlighting, that's done by the rendering engine. So there's nothing to convert. https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#code I don't know of any FrameMaker add-on that can add syntax highlighting to PDF output. You could use Pandoc rather than FrameMaker to go from Markdown to PDF. https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#syntax-highlighting On Tue, Dec 31, 2019 at 1:42 PM Orly Zimmerman <[email protected]> wrote: > > HI All, I have a document in Markdown (md) that I was asked to convert to FM.

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.
