Opening SGML
Hello, For a new project, we receive a SGML file from our customer. This SGML file is an export from a database. What do I need to parse this SGML file to Framemaker? What I've tried is following: I start Framemaker in Structured Mode. When I open the SGML file, I just get a plain text with all the SGML codes in it. When I use the Parse Structured Document function, I'm asked which Structured Application I want to use (DocBook, DocBook 2.1, XDocBook and XHTML). I choose one of them, and then I get an error Could not find external document type name. What do I need to open or parse the SGML file in a way that I get a decent document with all SGML codes 'interpreted'? Many thanks in advance.

RE: Opening SGML
Serge, Did your customer give you a structured application with the SGML file? (The structured application consists of at least an EDD and application definition. It can also include Read/Write rules, and a template, and maybe even some other things.) If so, you'll need to use that. If not, you'll need to create one.

Further to this, all you really need is the DTD for the original SGML (which may include an SGML declaration file and entity files, or not). You can quickly generate an EDD from the DTD in Frame. The imported SGML won't look pretty, but it will parse correctly. From that point you can refine the EDD and develop a structured application to convert various elements into Frame objects like markers, graphics, and tables.

Opening SGML
Hello, For a new project, we receive a SGML file from our customer. This SGML file is an export from a database. What do I need to "parse" this SGML file to Framemaker? What I've tried is following: I start Framemaker in Structured Mode. When I "open" the SGML file, I just get a plain text with all the SGML codes in it. When I use the "Parse Structured Document" function, I'm asked which Structured Application I want to use (DocBook, DocBook 2.1, XDocBook and XHTML). I choose one of them, and then I get an error "Could not find external document type ". What do I need to open or parse the SGML file in a way that I get a decent document with all SGML codes 'interpreted'? Many thanks in advance. Serge
