Hey all - it's been a long while since even using FrameMaker. Quick Background:
The dev team supplies XML with most of the para content in element attributes. I have an xsl script that breaks all those attributes as child elements. I did this because I could not figure out how to get the attribute values to print to a para format and use prefix/suffix rules. Now the team is manually inserting line breaks and using /n to indicate a soft return, but when read into FM, the /n prints and we a block of text. Is there a way to address this in the xsl or RW rules? The next question is with variables. A child element will make reference to element values in another file. For example: ..<Range>$[Min]:$[Max]</Range> There is a declaration in the main xml file: <Include> <Include Path="..\..\ParserCommon\CommonXML\Variables.xml" /> </Includes> (side note: my xsl will convert the above attributes to child elements, and then my RW rules drop all of those elements for now so they do not add empty space) and there is a Variables.xml file: <variables> ..<variable name="Min" value="1" /> ..<variable name="Max" value="4096" /> .. .. </variables> How do I populate $[Min]:$[Max] with 1:4096? The last item, the <Range> element above uses a prefix "Range:". I can apply character formatting Bold, but what I really want to do is have "Range:" in a right-aligned heading RunIn para format and then print the range value as an indented format. The reason is that I can then have all of the colons lined up for easier reading as I would many different heading RunIn texts. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
