[Framers] thanks - for prev. fonts help

Hello, Framers, Just a quick note of thanks to the many of you who have shared your knowledge and advice for so many years on this list! As you can tell from my recent spate of messages, I’m doing a big cleanup of templates and docs. I ran into an odd (to me) issue with the fonts. A font

Re: [Framers] conditions - in templates vs. applicable docs ?

Amen, Fred! I've always heavily documented my templates, which, of course, didn't keep the folks who followed after from ignoring all that and "being confused" and importing things willy nilly from other template, etc. etc. etc. But it's nice to have that stuff for those who do care! And a nice

Re: [Framers] CudSpan's HuntOverrides - w/FrameMaker 2015 (FrameMaker 13) ?

Frame can search for character and paragraph format overrides now, so maybe he didn't feel it was necessary to update? On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 12:53 PM, Monique Semp wrote: > Has anyone used CudSpan’s Hunt (Pgf) Overrides with FrameMaker 2015 > (FrameMaker 13)? On the

Re: [Framers] ExtendScript for save as text, for Git usage ?

Git does not support binary files. It assumes that all files under its control are mergeable text. I'd use something like git-annex or Git LFS for unstructured FrameMaker and image binaries. (It's not currently an issue for me since my doc source is in Confluence and the only files I put in Git

[Framers] CudSpan's HuntOverrides - w/FrameMaker 2015 (FrameMaker 13) ?

Has anyone used CudSpan’s Hunt (Pgf) Overrides with FrameMaker 2015 (FrameMaker 13)? On the CudSpan Plug-Ins page, it lists only up to FrameMaker 11. It’s seems that my old version (back many years ago) is working fine, but I don’t know if it’s missing anything or having some sort of unintended

[Framers] ExtendScript for save as text, for Git usage ?

Would it be an option for you to keep a copy of every FM document in plain text? This is not as cumbersome as it sounds, since you can install an Extendscript which saves the plain text copy automatically whenever you choose File > Save. I've set up something similiar to have a readable copy

Re: [Framers] Save doc/book in older FM-version

Hello framers, Lin Sims had the idea to add "Save as MIF". Hence I updated the script in http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker73.html - Save as MIF always saves in the 'current' MIF version. Trying to use for example Constants.FV_SaveFmtInterchange100 within FM-13 does not save anything. - The

Re: [Framers] conditions - in templates vs. applicable docs ?

you can use the content layer to contain detailed descriptions of everything that is defined in the template, and even a change history as the template evolves. Self-documentation is a really powerful tool for templates and stylesheets because I've never met anyone who can remember all the

Re: [Framers] conditions - in templates vs. applicable docs ?

And since each of these format/variable/condition templates is only used to overlay FrameMaker layers that don't contain document content, you can use the content layer to contain detailed descriptions of everything that is defined in the template, and even a change history as the template

Re: [Framers] conditions - in templates vs. applicable docs ?

I have been wishing for a feature like that for some time, but one that would also handle variable values. For variable management, I'd recommend taking a look at Leximation's BookVars plugin: http://leximation.com/tools/info/bookvars.php. -Monique

Re: [Framers] conditions - in templates vs. applicable docs ?

I have been wishing for a feature like that for some time, but one that would also handle variable values. The wonderful SmartDocs add-in for Word does that - they have a feature called Snapshots in which you specify both variable values and conditional text settings. You can have multiple

Re: [Framers] conditions - in templates vs. applicable docs ?

You could keep the conditions in a separate file. Ah, and just treat that file as a "template", and use it to import the relevant conditions into the applicable docs' .fm files? I like that idea. It would be easy to create a template_conditions_prod1.fm file, a template_conditions_prod2.fm

Re: [Framers] Find/change problems in large documents

When it says that nothing is found, is that in a single open file or in a book? I've found that there are times when I'm searching through a book and for some reason FrameMaker does not search though some of the chapters in the book. My theory is that when FrameMaker has a problem opening a
