Re: [Framers] An ExtendScript library for FrameMaker

   Hi Klaus, this is very generous of you and I can fully appreciate the
   time and effort required. I've been amazed (and a little jealous) of
   all the time you have had to play around with ExtendScript. Thanks for
   your willingness to share.

   Dear friends and experts,
   Many of you have helped me when I was stuck in a scripting problem.
   Even if my script
   suites (FMbiblio, FMcalc, FMfindRepl, FMgraph, FMnotes and FMvars) are
   not used that
   much (besides myself), this work built up my knowledge and function
   library.
   I share this library with you on
   [4]https://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker88.html
   A complete documentation is on
   [5]https://www.daube.ch/docu/files/FMjsxLib.pdf
   Since not much of this work was really just out of my head, most
   functions refer to a
   knowledge source in the comment header:
   I hope this avoids plagiarism accusations ...
   My programming style may be considered archaic or at least
   conservative. For example,
   I can not fully understand, what is discussed on
   [6]https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/extendscript-lib
   raries/m-p/465328
   5#M200725 ... I will never understand, why 'they' are talking about
   classes when
   there is the term function since aeons...
   Comments about the project are welcome.

Most generous of you. I'm sure this will benefit a lot of people. Your 
documentation looks very professional, and great to see Bruce Tognazzini's name 
mentioned.

'Class' is a fundamental term in object-oriented programming and is not the 
same thing as a function. However, Adobe won't let me access the page to check 
the context.

[Framers] An ExtendScript library for FrameMaker

2021-09-06 Thread Klaus Daube 
Dear friends and experts,

Many of you have helped me when I was stuck in a scripting problem. Even if my 
script 
suites (FMbiblio, FMcalc, FMfindRepl, FMgraph, FMnotes and FMvars) are not used 
that 
much (besides myself), this work built up my knowledge and function library.

I share this library with you on https://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker88.html
A complete documentation is on https://www.daube.ch/docu/files/FMjsxLib.pdf

Since not much of this work was really just out of my head, most functions 
refer to a 
knowledge source in the comment header:



I hope this avoids plagiarism accusations ...
