Hello Framers, I'm trying to convert some FrameMaker files to InDesign via
XML. Pretty good results so far, except that I get a carriage return at
the end of each line when I place the XML in InDesign. Is it Frame or
InDesign that's inserting these carriage returns and, more importantly,
how can I avoid this?
Yves,
I can't tell you anything about how InDesign treats line breaks. You ca
always remove the line breaks with XSLT.
If your FM files are structured, you can control the line breaking
behavior with r/w rules. Without a preserve line break rule, FM treats line
breaks within text like spaces. When you save a structured document to XML,
FM attempts to keep lines shorter than 80 characters. You can change the
length with the rule:
writer line break is n characters;
If you specify a large enough value of n, this rule can effectively
prevent line breaks within a text range.
