Re: [Framers] Setting up coloured text in Structure

[Fei Min Lorente]

Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm going to go with Rob's solution because I 
understand how to apply it and I think the answer is no, I can't directly use 
the value of the colour attribute to choose which colour to apply.

Wim, I hadn't heard of the outputclass attribute before, so I looked it up and 
it looks like a DITA thing. I should have mentioned that this is a home-grown 
EDD and that I'm using FrameMaker 10, so I don't think that attribute is 
available to me.

If anyone is reading this for the first time, here are the answers I got:

I'd set it up like you would an emphasis wrapping element. Once you specify the 
list, you can use it wherever that element is allowed. For instance:



Attribute list

Name: Type Choice Optional

Choices:Bold, 

Text format rules

If context is: [Type = "Bold"]

Text range.

Font properties

Weight: Bold



but replace Bold with the colour etc.



Hope it points you in the right direction

Hi Fei Min,



you should use paragraph and chatracter formats for your elements. Use the 
outputclass value to determine the format to use. Then change the formats in 
your template as needed.

[Framers] Setting up coloured text in Structure

[Fei Min Lorente]

Hi all:

We need to change the font colour for the first time, and there's a list of 6 
different colours that we have to use. I figured I would create a text range 
element and set the colour using an attribute with a preset list of values. I 
can use the same names that exist in the FrameMaker template. I don't suppose 
there's a way to use that attribute value to specify which colour to use in the 
text formatting, is there? Am I going to have to create a Format Change List 
for each colour?
