Hello again,
I am using FrameMaker 10 and need to add a new cross-reference format type to my XML files. The "Edit Format" button does not exist when the DITA Cross-reference dialog opens (it does in the normal un-structured Cross-reference dialog). I need to know how to create a new cross-reference format and have it automatically available when I create a new XML file of any type (topic, reference, concept, task).
I can create a new cross-reference type at the file level and then import the cross-reference format into a single XML file, although I currently have over 1000 XML files in a single project. Updating the XML in this project alone will be massive under-taking and one I do not wish to have to repeat with every project I work on.
I tried the solution posted here: http://www.scriptorium.com/2011/07/framemaker-dita-xrefs-i-could-tell- you-but/
The file-level format import option works but modifying the topic.template.fm file had no effect.
Is there any way to create a user-defined DITA cross-reference format that is automatically available in new XML files?
Is there also a way to perform a mass import of cross-reference formats to multiple files at the same time? (As I said, importing formats to 1000 files one at a time is not appealing to me)
Thanks
