RE: Versioning software

Hi Don,

 

To answer your question, I have worked with Tortoise CVS. Good tool which
integrates with the shell of windows.

 

Do you have your sources (pl. read data / doc repository) in CVS ?

 

Thank you,

 

Shall close,

 

Warm regards,

CGM graphics does not load in batch mode

2006-06-15 Thread Ingemar Arfvidsson
Hi, is there any person with knowledge about FDK and batch processing  
that can provide a solution for the following problem?

The CGM graphics does not load when SGML files with referenced CGM  
graphics are opened with FrameMaker in batch mode and when the  
windows account is locked?

FrameMaker reports "Insufficiant memory to open imported file.." for  
the referenced CGM file in the log window.

When the user is loggged in, the process works without flaws. When  
the user loggs out (locking the windows account), the CGM graphics  
does not load.

We are using the FDK library called from external (in house  
developed) software.

Need semicolon-delimited list from FM table column

2006-06-15 Thread rebecca officer
There are probably more automated ways to do this, but this works:

1. select your column and copy it into a blank FM document to give you a 
1-column table
2. convert the table to paragraphs
3. select your text, search for the paragraph mark (\p), and replace them all 
with a semicolon.

Cheers, Rebecca

>>> FIONA HANINGTON  15/06/06 10:58:49 >>>
Hi 

I have a table in FM, one column of which contains Bug IDs (this is a release 
notes document). I need to be able to get the list of Bugs IDs in a 
semicolon-delimited list (plain text) that I can feed into our bug-tracking 
tool.

Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? (Preferably a way that doesn't 
require me to manually insert semicolons :-)

Please copy me directly on your reply:

I work in the Technical Documentation department of a telecommunications 
company in Germantown, Maryland.  We need to outsource some of our work 
and are looking for a company within the MD/DC area to which we can 
contract to do this work. The writer (or writers) that work on the project 
must be proficient in FrameMaker and faithfully adhere to our style 
guidelines. As can be expected, the deadlines are tight. We can only 
outsource our work to companies that are bonded and insure; we cannot 
outsource to individual contractors.  We would appreciate any 
recommendations you can offer.

TOC made with XRef needs line break in middle of line(s)

2006-06-15 Thread Klaus Mueller
Bodvar,

> I agree that this can "easily" be done in FrameScript

I did implement such a line break fix in the FrameScript
DocTOC: http://www.itl.de/html/englisch/consulting/fsl/solutions-2.html

It does fix the line breaks of book TOCs as well as of
the chapter TOCs (that are inserted by the script).
It does not insert a soft return 'XX characters from
the start of a TOC line' nor does it re/store any specified
line break position - it just breaks a line at a specified
*right* margin (e.g. 5.0mm) after the next available space
char.
It does also fix that other known issues (pagination alone
at the beginning of a line etc.).

Unfortunately, the script does only support paragraph
formats for the creation of the chapter TOCs, but not
elements. That might be enhanced in the near future.

Kind regards,
Klaus M?ller, itl AG

 Follow the KISS principle and just add several more standard TOCs, one
