Re: [Framers] Best way to import/add select paragraph formats?

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Lin,

I am getting ready to set up a page for my 2020 Ride for Roswell, which
raises money for cancer research at Roswell Park in Buffalo. I am going to
supply this and other scripts for a donation to the ride. I am going to do
the 100 mile ride again this year. I should have it up in a day or two.
Thanks.

Rick

Re: [Framers] Layout.CSS in Responsive HTML5

[Caroline Tabach]

In the settings screen, you can tell it to use your css file.

I am not next to a computer so cannot tell you exact path

Re: [Framers] Best way to import/add select paragraph formats?

[Lin Sims]

I often use MIF snippets.


   1. Save the file with the formats you want in it as a MIF.
   2. Open the file in a text editor.
   3. Delete everything except the definitions for the tags you want.
   4. Save the file (make sure the extension stays MIF).
   5. In FM, open the MIF file and the file you want those specific formats
   in.
   6. Import paragraph (or character, or whatever) formats from the MIF
   file to the FM file.

Alternatively, you can create a new, clean file, import the tags from the
file that has the formats you want into it, and then just go through each
catalog and delete the formats you DON'T want from it. Save, then open the
file you need those new formats in and import from the clean file.

Re: [Framers] Best way to import/add select paragraph formats?

[Craig Ede]

I use a clean template approach for doing such imports, making sure there is no 
chance that I am importing something else even if I select the wrong options.

Note: A truly 'clean' template would removed all formatting definitions in the 
template and not just char, para, table, master page and reference page 
definitions (i.e. Colors, Doc Properties, X-Ref definitions,  etc.). Having 
such a template archived for use under these circumstances is something every 
FrameMaker template designer should do. I would bet Rick has one stashed away 
somewhere. It's amazing to me that Adobe doesn't provide a template barren of 
formats to use for this purpose.

1 - Create a 'clean' template for this purpose. That means, delete all char and 
para formats. Delete all text boxes from the master pages. If using a single 
sided document, make sure to set it to double-sided temporarily so you can 
delete the text boxes on the Left master page. Delete all Reference pages. 
Delete all table formats since table formats contain default para formats as 
part of the table definition. A Create and Apply Formats should only result in 
the creation of the Body tag which will exist in the text box override on the 
Body page. If others appear you will have to seek them out and remove them. 
Delete the Body paratag from the catalog again.

2 - Create the char and para formats you want to import, designed as you want. 
To create them you need a paragraph on the Body page. Use that Body paragraph 
(which should now appear as an override) as the place to start creating your 
new tags. Only the new paratags and chartags should exist on the body page. 
Another Create and Apply formats should not create any extraneous paratags or 
chartags.

3 - Import just your new char and para formats across your files or books from 
the clean template file you created, selecting Paragraph Formats and Character 
Formats only. You can also check the While Updating Remove: Other Format/Layout 
Overrides if you want the new definitions to correct overrides of the your new 
Para and Char formats that might exist in the target files.

[Framers] Layout.CSS in Responsive HTML5

[Doug]

I use a specific layout.css file that never changes.  However, each time I
publish to HTML5, Frame uses a default layout.css file.  I end up having to
manually replace this each time.

Is there a way I can make Frame use my layout.css file for the publish
process?  Has anyone figured this out?

Thanks,

Doug
