Hi Craig,
I don't think this has changed for FrameMaker 10 and 11. For regular shading intervals, yes, you would do this via a Table Format. To specify custom shading based on an attribute value, for example, you would have to do this with an FDK client, or FrameScript or ExtendScript script. If you need more details, please contact me offlist. Thank you very much.

The following entry in the DEVELOPING STRUCTURED APPLICATIONS WITH ADOBER FRAMEMAKERR 9 gives me pause: Tables FrameMaker table formats are only partially integrated with the structure model. The content of a FrameMaker table is always fully structured, but the control over cell border ruling is limited and there is no structure format control over cell shading. Does this mean that there is no way to import xml information to dictate cell shading? I'm interested in both options: controlling regular shading patterns (like every third row), and specifying cell shading on an ad-hoc cell-by-cell basis. I believe the regular patterns of shading can be done by using a table format defined in the structured template. Is this true? And is ad hoc cell shading impossible? BTW: The FM 9 document is the most current I can find. I am working in both FM10 and FM11. Thank you. Craig I'm sending this to both the framers and the framemaker-dita lists, but the question is really broader than strict DITA restrictions. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
