Re: [Framers] Updating Entity Declarations in XML Output and Working with CGM Graphics (cuc tu)
C2, There's a RemoveExtraWhiteSpacesOnXMLImport setting in maker.ini. It is initially set to On. When it is On, when FM reads an XML document, it condenses a sequence of spaces and newlines into a single space. It assumes that an element that is declared to be EMPTY in XML does not interrupt such a sequence. That assumption makes sense for something like a marker element, so that if the XML contains a marker element on a separate line, for example, it does not come into FM with a space on either side of the marker. System variable elements and cross-reference elements have similar declarations in XML. However, since they usually produce visible content in the FM document, I think they should be treated like text rather than empty elements during import. If your XML documents do not have sequences of white space that you want to condense to a single space, you can set RemoveExtraWhiteSpacesOnXMLImport to Off. Alternatively, you can use XSLT to change the space after a cross-reference to something that will import as a space. I haven't tested it, but I believe the character reference will do what you want. --Lynne On 8/22/2019 8:44 AM, Lynne A.

Re: [Framers] Updating Entity Declarations in XML Output and Working with CGM Graphics (cuc tu)
Thank you, Lynne. The contract requires CGM. I only found Larson software that will edit in native CGM format and I read that the latest version Illustrator can export CGM format. I do not have either of these. Another small issue I'm having is with xref elements and following text. After the xref, the space gets dropped but I think that just happens when Frame opens the XML file. [ shows a typical trigger timing diagram.] Your other info helped me resolve my declaration issues. Thank you, C2 From: "Lynne A. Price" To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: [Framers] Updating Entity Declarations in XML Output and Working with CGM Graphics Do you want CGM?
