Adding a heading to the steps element in a DITA topic

Hello Framers,

 

I've been using unstructured FM for years, but I've only just started looking into structured FM. I am currently trying to adjust the sample DITA application that comes with FM 9 to our requirements. In the DITA task topic, the sample application adds frames from a reference page above and below the steps element. Both frames contain a line to visually separate the steps element from other elements in the topic. The upper frame also contains a heading for that element.

 

I don't like this approach at all. First of all, I don't want translatable text on the reference page. In addition, the heading should go to the side-head area. The EDD contains the following rules for the steps element:

 

Automatic insertions
  Automatically insert child: step
    and nested child: cmd
Format rules for first paragraph in element
  In all contexts.
    Use paragraph format: step.begin
Format rules for last paragraph in element
  In all contexts.
    Basic properties
      Paragraph spacing
        Change space below by: +6pt
      Pagination properties
        Keep with previous: Yes
      Advanced properties
        Frame below element: StepsEnd

 

I was thinking about adding a prefix to the steps element, but in this case, the prefix is formatted as the first step with the step.begin paragraph style. Is it possible to define a formatting rule for the second paragraph in an element?

 

Thank you for any help

 

Susanne
