I've "self-documented" inside Word templates - which other people use.
However, no one else in the company (or at least in my division) uses Frame so that's not an issue-except when I have a contractor, as I have right now. But it's worth considering, thanks.

By keeping that information in the template you prevent redefinition of elements in one book/file from being mistaken for the sanctioned settings. It also allows importing of the definitions of any of the elements from the template when you have to bring a book/file back into compliance with a template. This worked well when have 50+ engineers working in the individual files that make up a book, some of whom are only casually interested in not using the Word format-as-you-go method of working. In my opinion, any FrameMaker template should self document in this way so that one knows the rules one is working with. Those are my 2 cents worth.

As a lone writer, I never have time to create a decent style guide, but in the Spring I'm going to have access to a student from a local tech comm program and I want them to at least start documenting tags for a style guide. If there's a way to export these details, even if the output isn't pretty, that would be great.
