questions on XML export
Just two quick questions (FM 7.x , Windows). 1. After exporting to XML the Import of the same document gives validation error: Message: Notation 'epsi' was referenced but never declared Where should this be declared, in the EDD, DTD or Rules file? On export FrameMaker generates the notation: !-- Begin Document Specific Declarations -- !NOTATION epsiPUBLIC 2. When exporting to XML, the reference to DTD is stored with full path info: !DOCTYPE Section SYSTEM file: ///E:/vijay/KOM107C-XML/FMApp/komori.dtd - how can I make FM store only the DTD name, without full path? The XML files need to be processed on different systems that don't have access to the same server. thanks, Met vriendelijke groet / kind regards, Wim Hooghwinkel [EMAIL PROTECTED] DTP and XML Management Scriptware bv http://www.scriptware.nl tel : +31 (0)23 548 48 84 fax : +31 (0)23 548 48 85 http://www.scriptware.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

FrameMaker Evangelist
Hi All, Just wanted to introduce myself to the group and share with you that as of Monday, I'm now the FrameMaker Evangelist for Adobe Systems and so I'm looking forward to contributing to this group and being as involved and supportive as I can to everyone who uses FrameMaker. I have been a long-time fan of FrameMaker and a user since the first version of the product. Along the way, I have spent many years delivering training on both Frame, Acrobat, RoboHelp, Captivate and other tools. I also worked for Quadralay (makers of WebWorks) for a couple of years, and as Product Manager for eHelp-Macromedia (makers of RoboHelp) my team and I built RoboHelp for FrameMaker. Anyhow, just wanted to say hi and let you know that several members of the FrameMaker team will be in the Adobe booth at the WritersUA conference, so if you are there, please stop by and say hello. We will also be in Las Vegas for the STC conference, so I look forward to seeing you there as well. BTW, we just posted the FrameMaker 7.2 try out software, so feel free to download it at: http://www.adobe.com/products/tryadobe/ main.jsp#product=22 Sincerely, RJ Jacquez Sr. FrameMaker Evangelist Adobe Systems ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

Blank pages [WAS: Framers Digest, Vol 5, Issue 23]
I think the problem here is that with technical manuals you are addressing people of different ethnic origins, languages etc. Many foreigners can read the "English jargon" they have learned that relates to their jobs and interests, but may have problem reading regular text or "jargon" relating to other technical fields such as publishing and printing. I have had questions from several people: "What does pagination mean?" "Intentionally Left Blank" serves the purpose of indicating in words comprehensible to most that there is no contents missing on that page -- that the page is not blank by accident, s.a. duplicate paper feed etc. So if we want to change this the text must be replaced by some other text easily understandable by foreigners that have only minor general konwledge in English.

A page with "Intentionally left blank" on it is a contradiction in terms: as soon as you put this phrase on the page, it is no longer blank, or is it? ;-) -- Yves Barbion Technical Writer Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor U Learning nv (formerly ATeK nv) Molenaarsstraat 111 B-9000 Gent Belgium Tel.: +32 9 265 74 72 Fax: +32 9 265 74 84 www.uni-learning.com

>A page with "Intentionally left blank" on it is a contradiction in terms: >as > soon as you put this phrase on the page, it is no longer blank, or is it? If you want to get technical (and literal), sure it still is. It is necessary to remember context. The context of the manual is, let's say, how to install a wizzie. That page has no wizzie installation content, therefore, it is blank. The "Intentionally left blank" statement is only describing the state of the page, not the state of the content.

FrameMaker Evangelist
Hi All, Just wanted to introduce myself to the group and share with you that as of Monday, I'm now the FrameMaker Evangelist for Adobe Systems and so I'm looking forward to contributing to this group and being as involved and supportive as I can to everyone who uses FrameMaker. I have been a long-time fan of FrameMaker and a user since the first version of the product. Along the way, I have spent many years delivering training on both Frame, Acrobat, RoboHelp, Captivate and other tools. I also worked for Quadralay (makers of WebWorks) for a couple of years, and as Product Manager for eHelp-Macromedia (makers of RoboHelp) my team and I built RoboHelp for FrameMaker. Anyhow, just wanted to say hi and let you know that several members of the FrameMaker team will be in the Adobe booth at the WritersUA conference, so if you are there, please stop by and say hello. We will also be in Las Vegas for the STC conference, so I look forward to seeing you there as well. BTW, we just posted the FrameMaker 7.2 try out software, so feel free to download it at: http://www.adobe.com/products/tryadobe/ main.jsp#product=22 Sincerely, RJ Jacquez Sr. FrameMaker Evangelist Adobe Systems

Hello, RJ...I was wondering where you went off to. We communicated with each other when I was a beta tester for Robohelp for FrameMaker. Between you and me, while I have gone over to WWeP, I think RH4FM was a better product. Anyway...I hope your presence will 1) do much to make FM more current, and 2) help dispel the FM is dead chorus. Good luck in your new position. BTW...I too am starting a new position, with EMC, a rather large FM customer, so I have a professional stake is seeing FM prosper. John Posada Senior Technical Writer

Hi Bill, Good to hear from you, too. This is actually the third question about my .mac domain, but no, it has nothing to do with FrameMaker, it's actually one of those emails you get when you own a mac and since I was already signed up to this group using my personal email, I just kept it, but I will probably be updating my profile to reflect my adobe email moving forward.

Hi Dan, You're right on the money, the title means exactly that, so I will do my best to make this happen with FrameMaker.

questions on XML export

>Just two quick questions (FM 7.x , Windows).
Wim,
Asking the questions may have been quick, but I'm afraid the answers
aren't as quick as you might think. See below!
>1. After exporting to XML the Import of the same document gives validation
>error:
>Message: Notation 'epsi' was referenced but never declared

The notation should be declared in the DTD; either in the external
subset (the file often referred to as the DTD), or in the internal subset
at the beginning of the document. Given the two lines you quote (the
comment and the notation declaration), FM has done just that on export.
Unless you have removed that line on import, I don't see why you are
getting an error message.
By the way, as I write this, I have no Internet connection and can't
check, but if my memory is correct, XML public identifiers require a system
identifier. Although FM does not report an error given:
I believe it is incorrect and should be at least:
I suggest you avoid the issue by adding:
to your DTD.
And here is some relevant background. When you export a document that
uses a notation that is not declared in the DTD, FM generates a notation
declaration such as:
in the internal subset. Whenever you open an XML document that has notation
or entity declaration sin the internal subset, FM uses a reference page
called Entity Declarations to save enough information to regenerate those
declarations. Information about notation declarations is saved in a
three-column table. The notation name goes in the first column, the public
identifier in the second, and the system identifier in the third. The table
does not distinguish a system identifier that is present but contains no
characters from one that doesn't appear. When both columns 2 and 3 are
empty, it generates a public identifier, so the imported:
is exported as:
Again, avoid the issue by declaring the notation in your EDD.

Good news, bad news on this one. There is a r/w rule that I believe should
do what you want:
writer {external dtd is "komori.dtd";}
Unfortunately, FM assumes that the specified file exists in the same folder
as the FM file being saved. Thus, the rule works if you save the XML file
to that folder. Suppose, however, that you have a main project folder with
two subfolders, one called fm and once called xml. If your FM file is in
the fm subfolder, and you save it as ..\xml\output.xml. FM uses
..\xml\komori.dtd as the external identifier. Since there's no need to
store the DTD there, such a file is not likely to exist. Short of using a
custom FDK client, the workaround is to keep both FM and XML versions in
the same folder.
