FYI: I am currently using FrameMaker 12 to do a structured project for a
client. FrameMaker 12 is certainly capable of working with structured
documents.

Ditto what Mike said. The ONLY reason I'm still sticking with Frame12 is
because I have no need for structured documents and there haven't been
enough non-structure improvements since FM12 to justify the cost of
upgrading. Yes, some would-be-nice-to-haves, but nothing worth the price.
The strength of FM is that I can still make it jump through serious
advanced-level hoops despite its age. It just may take a bit longer. Same
thing applies to me, too.

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 2020

[Robert Lauriston]

FrameMaker is a specialist tool for people who want template-driven
PDFs (and optionally web help etc.) or who for whatever reason chose
FrameMaker as part of their DITA toolchain.

Adobe has no incentive to make it more competitive with InDesign as a
page-layout program.

[Framers] PSA: Procrastinated in upgrading to Windows 10? You can still do so for free

[tammyvb]

So, yes, I know. . . the end has been near for a while, and officially,
yesterday, 1/14/2020, MS ended all support for Windows 7. I loathe updating
of any time and held off as long as I could, but luckily, you can still get
your upgrade to Windows 10 directly from MS for free. (Certain caveats do
apply, but overall, 99% of the time, you should be fine.)

 

In case you waited like I did and need the update link and instructions: On
cnet.com:

 

Look for:

Over the years, I've beta tested a few FrameMaker versions. I always test
on live projects, which I know isn't the best idea, but it gives me
information about how the beta works in the real world. Before the beta
concludes, I save my project files as MIF, so I can continue documenting in
the non-beta, current FM version. Not sure what I need in a new version of
FM. Probably stronger Word filters, a better way to round-trip MIF, and a

My memory for dates is a sieve. Lynne is correct, and if the 18-month cycle
holds true, we should see 2020 sometime in March.

Re: [Framers] Applying Show/Hide Conditional Settings

[Lynne A. Price]

John,
   FM should not crash when you apply Show/Hide settings. Please give 
us an update and let us know if you experience crashes now that you've 
switched to using conditional expressions. When you were using the 
Show/Hide shuttle boxes, did FM always crash when processing the same 
file? Did restarting FM or rebooting your computer make a difference?
   To answer your original question, yes, once you have selected the 
files in a book window, you can make Show/Hide settings in the selected 
files either using the Show/Hide Conditional Text box, or by importing 
formats from a template and checking the Conditional Text Settings box. 
Assuming that all the documents already have the same conditional text 
definitions, the two methods should produce identical results. In that 
since, they are both "right". However, the first method seems more 
obvious to me and more in the spirit of conditional text. The condition 
tags have to be defined before they can be shown or hidden. The intent 
of this FM feature is to be able to show or hide different content 
without having to redefine the conditions. It was creative of you to see 
if the second method made a difference in observed behavior, but it 
shouldn't be necessary.

    --Lynne

On 1/14/2020 1:36 PM, John Posada wrote:

I've been experiencing crashes when applying a Show per condition.

I've applied conditions two different ways...

- Select all the files in the book, configure Show/Hide , pick the
condition, move to Show side, click radio button for Show as per Condition,
then Apply.
- In the template file, configure Show/Hide, Apply, then
File->Import->Conditions.

Is one of these the RIGHT way and one the WRONG way, or is there a more
stable way?

John,
    You might make sure text symbols are on when you assign the 
condition tags. If you want to make an entire paragraph conditional, 
make sure you select the end-of-paragraph symbols. If you apply the 
condition to all the content of the paragraph without the EOP, hiding 
the condition will leave an empty paragraph.

[Framers] Why doesn't Table Continuation variable element get closed

[Rick Quatro]

Hi,

 

I am using structured FrameMaker 2019 and have Table Continuation variables
wrapped in a  element. When I save as XML, this element
gets output without a closing tag and this causes parser errors. Any idea
why? Thanks.

Re: [Framers] Applying Show/Hide Conditional Settings

[John Posada]

Hi, guys...

In developing the Conditional Expression (first time doing it), is it
advisable that within the parens, to list multiple exclusions as "A" or
"B", or "A" and "b"?

Below I have a portion of my statement where I want to INCLUDE Collis,
Amanda but EXCLUDE everyone else (there are a total of 19 (1 include and 18
excludes). The intent is to show any text belonging to Amanda, but exclude
everyone else.

"Collis, Amanda" and not ( "Cunningham, Brian" or "Fit, Deanna" or
"Gilmore, Tzedek" or "Hoy, Nicole" or "Kassis, David" or "Lee, Edward" or
"Litwak, David" or "Noor, Khurram" or "OMara, Vincent" or ...etc.

Thanks

Re: [Framers] Applying Show/Hide Conditional Settings

[Reng Winfried]

Hi John,

When there are bullets without content, then the paragraph mark
does not have the condition.
When this is at the end of a flow (in a table cell or at the end of the
main text flow), then add an empty paragraph without condition
after the paragraph with the condition.

You asked whether you can import regular expressions into other files.
I checked this and could import the regular expressions from another
file.
Just use File | Import | Formats. Then select Conditional Text Settings.

Best regards

Winfried

appropriate formats to all the files in the book from the tempalte. Can I store 
my Expressions in that document and when I create a new document or add a new 
Expression, replicate the new or modified Expressions to the new document or 
all the documents in the book?

Anyway..thanks for the tip...I think this is going to work for me.

Thank you
