Hi Rick...

Are you using the default FM DITA structure apps? Does your app definition include the reference to the default import/export client? On export, that client should create a proper <xref> from the <fm-xref> (hence, the drop rule). If you remove this client from the app, you should get <fm-xref> elements in the XML .. but that may cause other problems. If you're using XSLT on export, it's possible that may be interfering with the expected export process .. you might try it without the XSLT first to make sure the basic processing is working.

Oh .. and what version of FM are you using?

Hi All,

I am structuring some FrameMaker content to DITA and trying to save an XML
file. Initially, my <fm-xref> elements were getting dropped until I
discovered this R/W rule:

fm element "fm-xref" drop;

I replaced it with this:

element "xref" is fm cross-reference element "fm-xref";

Now I get the <xref> elements, but they are invalid because they look like
this:

<xref  format="FigureCaption" xtrf="FigureCaption" idref="i765173">

The message I get at the FrameMaker console is this:

Error at line 768, char 54, Message: expected end of tag 'xref'

I am content with getting <fm-xref> elements in my output because I am
transforming the files with XSLT anyway, but how do I ensure that these tags
are properly closed? Any help would be appreciated.

Rick
