Re: [Framers] Structure Emphasis and Xref elements break lines

2019-10-30 Thread cuc tu
Thank you, Lynne. My problem was expecting the frame document to automatically 
update the element definitions after updating the EDD and template when 
reopening. I also tried resetting the structured application. Now, I even have 
the xrefs doing what I want.

Thank you,
C2

Re CSS code jockey:

I switched most of my documents from structured Framemaker to Flare after 
encountering problems with Framemaker exports to web and ebook formats. But 
even with Flare, editing of CSS is cumbersome. I now do all edits in Adobe 
Brackets. It is much easier to fix and organize.

Howdy Framers,

They break the line as a new paragraph, so how do I get them to be inline? I 
thought of having them use an inline heading paragraph format, but the emphasis 
styling is applied as an attribute so I would not see a difference between bold 
and italic.


C2,
    Use a TextRangeFormatting element in a text format rule to specify 
that a container is a text range in the current paragraph. You can 
specify individual font properties or apply a character format within 
such a rule. And you can format the element based on an attribute. You 
might want to use something like:


1.  If context is: [emphasis="bold"]
  Text range.
  Font properties
  Weight: Bold
 Else, if context is [emphasis="italic"]
   Text range
   Font properties
   Angle: Italic

which has the structure:


    
[emphasis="bold"]
   
  
  
   
    
   
  
    
    
    
[emphasis="italic"]
   
  
  
   
    
   
  
    


Also, how do changes to the EDD and template get applied to an existing structured fm 
file? For example, I changed the EDD  element to use a numbered paragraph 
format, but that seemed to have no affect. My FM doc does not ask for a structured 
app, but it seems to follow the one I've applied.

Open the EDD, template, and structured document. If you have not already 
done so, make the template the current document and use File > Import >  
Element Definitions to update the template to use the element 
definitions defined in the EDD. Save the template. Then switch to the 
structured document. Use File > Import > Formats to import all formats 
into the structured document. Next, use File > Import > Element 
Definitions to import the element definitions from the template into the 
structured document. Make sure to check the box to remove format overrides.


Note 1: You could import element definitions from the EDD, but then FM 
would display any relevant warning messages again.


Note 2: You can import templates before importing element definitions, 
but then any assignment of paragraph or character properties made in the 
EDD will be lost. You can always remove such overrides by importing 
element definitions from the current document and checking the box to 
remove overrides.

[Framers] Structure Emphasis and Xref elements break lines

2019-10-30 Thread cuc tu
Howdy Framers,

I have emphasis and xref elements defined as containers without any formatting. 
They break the line as a new paragraph, so how do I get them to be inline? I 
thought of having them use an inline heading paragraph format, but the emphasis 
styling is applied as an attribute so I would not see a difference between bold 
and italic. That might be OK as I'm not really interested in a fully formatted 
document, just something easier to edit. I send XML output as the deliverable.

Also, how do changes to the EDD and template get applied to an existing 
structured fm file? For example, I changed the EDD  element to use a 
numbered paragraph format, but that seemed to have no affect. My FM doc does 
not ask for a structured app, but it seems to follow the one I've applied.

Thanks,
C2

[Framers] OT: CSS Code Jockey?

2019-10-30 Thread tammyvb
Hey All,

 

I am stuck in RoboH*ll using RH 2019's not even remotely for primetime tool
to develop OLH for a client. (It is a client-mandated tool and I do NOT have
an option to switch!) I desperately need a CSS code jockey to assist me in
modifying the CSS for this project - it's an absolute nightmare between
having to use an inherited CSS as well as Adobe thinking that they are
"helping" you by automatically sticking in CSS where they think it's
appropriate based on manual edits that I am making and not being able to
make this tool NOT do this blasted automatic coding.

 

I know that this is the FM list, but hopefully, that means there are some RH
users on this list as well that might be able to point me to a resource.

 

TIA!!
