IXgen is a very useful plugin for marker-intensive documents. I used it
years ago and recommended it to several of my clients. My only complaint is
that it takes the liberty of balancing square brackets when it puts the text
back into the markers. This was a fatal problem for one of my clients that
was trying to use IXgen with TimeSavers markers which sometimes use
unbalanced open square brackets in its marker syntax (essentially,
Postscript code). In my view, IXgen shouldn't make any changes to the marker
text that you don't explicitly specify. But this is certainly an edge case,
so if you are not using TimeSavers markers, this won't be a concern for you.
**IXGEN HAS BEEN UPDATED!!!!**
We've now included a "passthrough" marker-type option for such cases.
(In many other situations, you do want -- and need -- brackets
balanced.)
Hope that helps,

The problem here is simply that the text size in the marker window is
too small. It would be nice to be able to configure the size and
possibly the font in windows like these where the user has to
type/edit text. On marker-intensive documents, I would probably choose
a larger, mono-spaced font for the marker window.

Hi
In the last days there was some discussion about them index marker
text window.
Another idea would be to use IXgen and bypass the limits (and sometimes
miseries) of the marker window entirely.
Most marker display and edit entities generated by IXgen rely on FrameMaker
documents that we provide as templates. And, because the IXgen templates are
plain old FM documents, you can modify those templates to use whatever font
size and styles you'd like.
For more information about IXgen please visit our site (in the sig block
below).
