I am using FrameMaker 7.2 on Windows XP Pro platform.
My XML document contains a metadatablock (=element) with 42 subelements.
I want this element to stay in my structure, but i won't see the element(s)
in my layout.
I have to keep this element in my structure because i need the possibility
to export the XML from FM.
Egwin,
Possible approaches are:
1) If none of the 42 subelements can ever contain more than 255 characters,
you can make them markers (possibly of a custom marker type called Metadata).
2) Make them conditional text that is hidden when you publish the document
3) Use the FDK to move them to a reference flow
4) Display them in white in a small font. Such characters still take up
space. You can eliminate the visual effect by putting them in a table with
a fixed row height, or by putting them in a text frame that is behind the
frame with the visible characters.
