If you are delivering PDF and HTML, I don't understand the reluctance to use color. The Acrobat PDF device driver supports full color, and a minor change to your CSS can give you similar color selections in the HTML.
On the change bars, I don't believe you can change the character, but you can change the width and color of the change bar. Still gives the appearance of draft, but potentially with a little more class. --- On Tue, 6/28/11, Fei Min Lorente <feimin.lore...@onsemi.com> wrote: From: Fei Min Lorente <feimin.lore...@onsemi.com> Subject: Looking for the best way to highlight text to the reader To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 1:06 PM Structured FrameMaker 7.2 on Windows XP, AXCM version 2.01, and FrameScript. I have some manuals that are going to be published separately for different products. I’m using an attribute value for conditional text, and the AXCM plug-in to color and filter the manuals. Normally, I remove colorizing for the final publication, but this time, the program manager wants to show the differences. We want to avoid using color in case someone decides to print the manuals (yes, we still ship PDF as well as HTML). AXCM offers underlining, double underlining, overlining, strikethrough, and revision bars in addition to colors. I’m not completely satisfied with any of these solutions because the underscores in some words gets lost with the underlining, and it gets a bit messy when you have a whole page underlined. On the other hand, revision bars look a bit like it’s a draft and it doesn’t show what changed on a line. Can anyone think of some alternatives considering the tools I have at my disposal? For example, is there any way to change the revision bar to another character or characters?
