RE: Importing XML and having trouble with the Graphics

[Lisa Freeman]

Many thanks to Heiko Haida for sending me the following link:

http://www.asadesigner.com/97-framemaker-sgml/6139e2880bcd9c90.htm

You were absolutely correct that my read write rules were the problem.  I was 
using both entityref and fileref which are mutually exclusive. I was also 
defining the graphic filename as an fm attribute when it has to be an fm 
property. The developer's reference and guides didn't say anything that I saw 
about this.

I still have more to do for this project and will not hesitate to ask the many, 
very smart people on this list!


Sincerely,
Lisa Freeman

Importing XML and having trouble with the Graphics

[Lisa Freeman]

Hello All,

FrameMaker 8.0p277 (Not my choice, customer requirement)

In a nutshell, I am importing XML created from an AXCESS database straight in 
FM. The data is a basic IPC manual (one or more figures and a parts list inside 
a parent "assembly"). I have the EDD and Read/Write rules created and they seem 
to be working ok except for one thing.

I can't figure out how to get the Graphic Attribute to be recognized by FM. I 
am getting the following error messages:

XML Parser Messages (Document Instance)
Message Attribute 'attname' refers to an unknown entity '123.eps'

And

XML Read Messages (Document Instance)
Bad entity name (123.eps) was specified for an imported graphic

Has anyone else had the need to import graphics in this way and run across 
these types of errors? There's lots of information in the source manuals I 
have, but 99 percent of it refers to exporting graphics from FM to Markup, not 
the other way around.

If it makes a difference, I have full control of the template, EDD, and R?W 
rules, etc. I can also have the format of the XML changed to what I need if 
necessary.

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Lisa Freeman
