ATA iSpec 2200 CMM book validation
Hi all,
I am a technical writer and I am new to structured authoring.
I have a structured CMM for a component with ATA number 11-22-33 (example). Taking Source files of this CMM, i have to create a new CMM whose ATA number is 11-22-34. Contents of both CMMs are similar except some minor changes.
I have made all the required changes and now I am facing a problem with MTOSS Numbering.
I have to update ATA Number as 11-22-34 for TASK and Subtask level, but there is no Element Attributes for chapno, subno, secno. for TASK and Subtask
I have updated Book level attributes as chapno=11, subno=22, secno=34, but it is not reflecting throughout CMM pageblocks.
How can I change the attributes as chapno=11, subno=22, secno=34 for TASK and Subtask.
Please help me in this..

Special Char not Translating into Horizontal Tab in Structured FM 11
In the office where I work, we are upgrading from Structured FrameMaker 8 in Win XP to Structured FrameMaker 11 in Win 7. Part of the work that I do involves importing xml feeds into Structured FrameMaker templates using an automated process. As I am testing the importing into FM 11 I am noticing that the special character code used for a horizontal tab - 	 - is not translating into a tab after the xml feed has been imported into the FM 11 template. It does translate into a horizontal tab when imported into FM 8. What special character code should be used for horizontal tabs in FM11?

FM 11 Crash with Element Boundaries as Tags
Hi,
I am getting a repeatable crash (but with different error codes) when doing the following:
- Open a previously saved FM 11 MIF file.
- Save as FM 11 binary.
- Close MIF file (without saving)
- Open FM binary file
- Set View->"Element Boundaries (as Tags)"
- Save file.
- Close file.
- Re-open file.
- Crash
- Frame then has to be killed with task manager.
If I change step 5 to "delete some text" without showing tags, then the document re-opens correctly.
Internal Error: 11024, 4780356, 4780650, 7524149
Internal Error: 11024, 13431108, 13431402, 16174901
FM 11.0.2.384 (no extra plugins)
Windows NT 6.1 (major.minor.build: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1)
Has anyone else seen this with showing element boundaries as tags?

XSLT to convert XML into Tables
Hi,
I'm trying to import my XML data into a table format. After adding an XSL file to my Structure Application as a Preprocessing Stylesheet, and importing my XML instance file with the Template file opened, the "Unknown File Type" error window appeared asking for a file format to Convert From. Picking any one doesn't create a table.
The XSL file tranforms the XML data into an HTML file that has a table with columns corresponding to the XML data. I was thinking using that type of XSL because it renders tables.
Below is the XSL markup:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>Products</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Number</th>
<th>Date</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="Products/Product">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Number"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Date"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Title, Number, and Date are child elements of the Product element, which is a child element of the Products root element in my XML file.
Am I applying the stylesheet correctly here? Am I using the write kind of stylesheet?
Thanks,
zeb

FrameMaker 11 S1000D Data Module List is empty
Hi
I'm currently looking at FrameMaker 11's S1000D plugin. I've read the documentation that is available but I'm confused.
I've set up a project, which is a copy of the default Bike project in the same location (in my Roaming Frame directory) but when I load the S1000D Common Source Data the Data Module List is empty.
I can click onto the edit button and this will load the DML document and I can edit this with new Data Module Codes and save this document. But when I follow the instructions to refresh this list I'm getting a blank window.
I want to be able to see how well this plug in works for IPD Data Modules, but without the ability to insert a dmRef from the Common Source Data window I cannot proceed any further.
Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

What happened to Full FM?
Yesterday, I downloaded FM v12 Trial, upgraded to full version with license/serial number, and used it with some existing .fm files for initial testing.
Today, using same icon on Start Menu and/or Desktop, I only have XML Author.
What happened to full install?

Can't Save As PDF
I am working with DITA files in Frame 8, and am unable to save a generated Frame file as a PDF. I keep getting these errors:
- "To execute "Save as PDF" command you must have Acrobat Distiller version 5.05 or higher installed."
- "To execute "Save as PDF" command you must have PDF Job Options defined.
I have Acrobat Distiller 8 installed, so I don't know why I'm getting the first error. I opened Distiller, and still got the error.
Also, I did try to set job options using Format> Document> PDF Setup. On the PDF Setup dialog box, the only job option in the PDF Job Options drop-down list was High Quality Print. When I clicked Set, I got a message stating that "The selected PDF Job Option does not existing in the current installation. Either create this Job Option or select an available Job Option."
How do you create a valid job option? How do you get it to show up in the drop-down list? I looked at the Adobe PDF properties in Print Setup, and the Default Settings show several job options including the High Quality Print option.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

DITA vs. roll-your-own
My team is just getting started with structured FrameMaker, and we're trying to determine whether we should use DITA or define our own EDD (etc.). DITA seems overly restrictive for our needs, so I'm leaning toward defining our own. Is there anything in DITA that we couldn't recreate (for example, tagging or map files)?

How do you insert an equation in a structured doc using DITA 1.2?
Good morning,
I'm currently in the process of structuring a set of unstructured user manuals using FM10 and the DITA 1.2 standard. I have my conversion table and templates setup and everything has been going well so far, but I can't figure out how to structure equations or insert new equations into a structured doc.
FrameMaker flags equations as an unsupported element (see below) no matter where the equation appears in the map.
I've looked through my element catalogue, but I can't find anything that seems like it would support an equation.
In some of my research, I've stumbled across something called a mathML element, but that doesn't seem to be an available option for me. Is this something that's only available if you are using DITA specialization?
If anyone has any ideas for how I can insert equations into my doc while keeping it inline with the DITA 1.2 standards, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
D'Arcy

Simple Read / Write Issue (FM Version 9.0p255)
I think this is a very simple question (and apologise if I have just repeated someone else - I looked but could not find the answer I was looking for).
I have used Structured Framemaker for quite some time but am only now looking into XML output and roundtripping.
The issue I have is I cannot seem to get the read / write rules to do anything - they do not seem to interact with the writing or reading of XML.
Now I am sure that I have missed something very, very simple (and not for the first time) so it would be great if someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. So...
The Input XML script shown here has an element named "Para", as well as various other elements that are named exactly as they are in FM (Paragraph, Section, Document, etc...)
---
<Document><Title>Round Trip Test Document</Title>
<Section><Title>Section one - Waking up</Title>
<Para>This should be a standard Paragraph Element in FM <Emphasis>emphasised </Emphasis>text in
a paragraph.</Para>
<Paragraph ID = "GFJHDEAB">This is the second paragraph in the first section</Paragraph>
<Section ID = "BABBCABA"><Title>Section one point one. Tips for getting out of bed</Title>
<Paragraph>This is the first paragraph in the first nested section</Paragraph></Section></Section>
<Section><Title>Section two - making the tea</Title>
<Paragraph>This is a cross reference to <Xref IDref = "BABBCABA" Format = "Section"/></Paragraph>
<Paragraph>This section includes and anchored frame for a table followed by a graphic</Paragraph></Section></Document>
---
I want my read/write rules to map any instances of 'Para' element to the FM element "Paragraph".
So the read / write rules have the following lines:
fm version is "9.0";
/*
* Include all ISO entity mapping rules.
*/
#include "isoall.rw"
element "Para" is fm element "Paragraph";
---
Structapps application (QuickStart) is pointing to the correct rules file:
| Application name: | QuckStart |
| DOCTYPE: | Document |
| Template: | C:\Users\astirling\Desktop\STRUCTURED FRAMEMAKER\StructuredXMLTest1\StructuredTemplate#1.fm |
| DTD: | C:\Users\astirling\Desktop\STRUCTURED FRAMEMAKER\StructuredXMLTest1\StructTestOne.dtd |
| Read/write rules: | C:\Users\astirling\Desktop\STRUCTURED FRAMEMAKER\StructuredXMLTest1\rules.fm |
--
But when I open the XML I get:
And the structure shows the same thing:
---
So why has the XML element 'Para' not been changed into FM element 'Paragraph'. I know that the element 'Para' is an unknown element - thus the rule telling it to map this to the 'Paragraph' element.
FM > XML
When I output from FM to XML I have followed all the instructions from the manuals and cannot get these process to work either. The Output XML is exactly the same if I have rules or not.
i.e. if I map my FM elements, to elements of the same name but all in lowercase - the output XML shows the element names exactly as they are in FM, as though there were no rules involved.
Any help would be appreciated, Cheers.

S1000D CSDB

Control table row or cell formatting via EDD context rules?
Hi...
I think I know the answer to this, but is it possible to control table row or cell properties (like shading, padding, borders, etc) through context rules in an EDD? I'm not aware of any way to do this, but thought I'd toss it out there to be sure.
Would love to hear that I'm wrong.

Creating new task in DITA, how do I choose Strict or General?
I'm using DITA 1.2 with FrameMaker 12.
I've seen how I can create a new task with DITA > New DTIA File > New task... But the 1.2 DITA standard is supposed to support two types of task, strict or general. How can I specify that I want a general task rather than a strict one?
Thanks,

Nested tables
Hi all,
there is some Information in the Framemaker help how to nest tables in structured documents but I simply don't understand how to implemend this. This is a DITA document and I know that nesting tables is very bad style. However it is a requirement and after all DITA does support it.
In unstructured documents we used anchored Frames in table cells. The approach for structured documents seems similar:
"Select a graphic element for empty anchored frames in the Element Catalog, and click New Frame"
I wonder how I can accomplish this. In the EDD I would have to set up an element (perhaps a dedicated paragraph class) to insert an anchored Frame in which then the table is inserted.
Has anybody succeeded in using nested tables in structured documents with Framemaker?

Read/Write Rules with Framemaker 9
We have a structured application that we are exporting as XML and HTML from Framemaker 9 and playing in a browser. The graphics are exporting in the correct format but the style sheet generated by Frame is causing the graphics to be left justified and resized all to the same size. We figure it is a read/write rules but not sure how to go about fixing it. My developer is an experienced Arbortext developer and somewhat experienced with Framemaker 7 but not really sure how to solve this problem. We also can not get any hyperlinks to export. Is this a read/write problem as well? Any help will be appreciated.

Error if an element name is declared more than once in XSD. But e.g. Dot.Net accepts this
Frame Maker 11 reports an error if an element name is declared more than once in XSD. However Dot.NET 4.0 validation with the same XSD is OK with such model and validates the different modeled elements with the same name (e.g. fett) correctly. We need the "double declaration of the same element" feature in Frame Maker 11 in a big migration project. We migrate SGML data to XML. How can we solve this?
Hint: we explicitly want to prohibit an endless recursive nesting of elements!
Sample XSD:
<xs:schema xmlns="http://tempuri.org/test-rekursion" xmlns:tr="http://tempuri.org/test-rekursion" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/test-rekursion" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" > <xs:group name="inlineBase"> <xs:choice> <xs:element name="sup" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="sub" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="keyword" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="inline-graphics" type="xs:string" /> </xs:choice> </xs:group> <xs:element name="paragraph"> <xs:complexType mixed="true"> <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:group ref="tr:inlineBase" /> <xs:element name="bold"> <xs:complexType mixed="true"> <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:group ref="tr:inlineBase" /> <xs:element name="italic"> <xs:complexType mixed="true"> <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:group ref="tr:inlineBase" /> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="italic"> <xs:complexType mixed="true"> <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:group ref="tr:inlineBase" /> <xs:element name="bold"> <xs:complexType mixed="true"> <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:group ref="tr:inlineBase" /> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:choice> <xs:attribute name="autor" type="xs:string" /> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema>

<paragraph xmlns="http://tempuri.org/test-rekursion" xsi:schemaLocation="http://tempuri.org/test-rekursion test-recursion2.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" > Lorem ipsum <bold>dolor <italic>sit amet<sup>hoch 2</sup>, consetetur </italic>sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod</bold> tempor invidunt ut labore et <italic>dolore <bold>magna aliquyam<sup>hoch 3</sup> erat</bold>, sed diam voluptua</italic>.

converting Framemaker files into PDF progaramatically using publishing server
Hi All
Background:
We are going for upgrade of Frame maker 8 which is on unix system to FM 10 or 11. We are using Framemaker mainly for renditions, i.e to convert the fm documents to PDF. To convert fm document to PDF we are using the below mentioned command line utility available in FM 8.(on unix). /opt/app/frame8.0/bin/fmprint -i -p Sample.fm.fmtpl Sample.fm Currently the the fm file which need to converted to PDF and the FM 8(installed) are available on the same unix system ,so we were able to initiate/use the command line utility of FM 8. The rendition of the FM to PDF is On -Demand.( We are not running any batch activities/ bulk renditions).We are rendering the document as soon as the document is available.
Requirement:
As we are going to upgrade the FM to newer versions which would be installed on the Windows machine as Frame maker 10 or 11 will not support unix plat form, so can you please let us know which option is better to use i.e we want to convert fm file to PDF using java program without any manual intevention using publishing server/client version.
can any one help us as it is very urgent for us.
please let us know the ways to do and links for helpful documents .
thank you very much for your help in advance!!\
