And since each of these format/variable/condition templates is only used to overlay FrameMaker layers that don't contain document content, you can use the content layer to contain detailed descriptions of everything that is defined in the template, and even a change history as the template evolves. Self-documentation is a really powerful tool for templates and stylesheets because I've never met anyone who can remember all the details for more than a day or so.

Ah, and just treat that file as a "template", and use it to import the relevant conditions into the applicable docs' .fm files? I like that idea. It would be easy to create a template_conditions_prod1.fm file, a template_conditions_prod2.fm file, and so on, and then just use those to make sure that every .fm file in a given book gets the same conditions. And by extension, I could mimic this for other template elements, such as variables. Thanks for the idea! -Monique _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
