Re: Unstructured to Structured: Question about retaining, paragraph formats

I think the answer to your question is somewhere between No and It Depends, but closer to No. It gets back to the structure vs. display issue. FrameMaker tries to give you both the XML world and the WYSIWYG world in one package. A more typical XML editor (like the new XML view in Frame 11) is

I thought the idea was to format via the EDD, only.  Users should never just apply pgf formatting, because it will get lost (as you describe).  Structure demands template dictatorship on steroids...  Or rather, it imposes it.  To add new pgf formats, and to set up users to apply them, you would
