Structured FM - XML: using a scheme

Hi all, for a new project we are using an XML scheme and not a DTD. I imported the scheme for creating an EDD, and FM converts it to a DTD. Can anyone advise on using a scheme with structured FM - any things to take into acount that differ from working with a DTD? thanks, Vriendelijke groet,

table heading on reference page

Hi All, I need to get a fairly complicated table heading on the reference page so that the heading automatically populates when the specific table is inserted on the body page. Can anyone refresh my foggy memory on this? Mollye Barrett ClearPath, LLC content management solutions

RE: table heading on reference page

Perhaps I don't understand your request, but FrameMaker will not use information on a Reference page automatically when inserting a table unless the info is used via the Frame Above/Frame Below mechanism in specific paragraph formats in the table. I suspect this could be done through some

OT: question about usage

Hi all: The documents I am working with refer to numerical characters and alpha characters. Just out of professional curiosity, is this terminology correct? Those two phrases sound overly complicated to me -- numerical characters sounds like a complicated way of saying numbers and ditto alpha

Re: question about usage

The term alphanumeric characters avoids the slang alpha and also addresses numbers as individual characters, rather than things like 1.8956132 and 218,555,123 and 1x10^6...all of which are numbers. ;-) Rene L. Stephenson - Original Message From: Shuttleworth, Roger [EMAIL

Re: OT: question about usage

Hi Deirdre, I tend to refer to numbers as either numbers or arabic numbers, depending on whether I am also using roman numerals. Alphabetical characters I refer to as lowercase letters or uppercase letters, with the obvious distinctions. It's all very interesting isn't it? Yes, alpha,

Re: OT: question about usage

Many programming languages contain functions to recognize alphabetic or numeric characters (isAlpha, isNum, isDigit). To get an idea what words other people choose, you can look up these functions on the Internet. I would drop the al suffix, but if you're addressing a programming audience,

Re: question about usage

Thanks all for the responses about alphanumeric characters and the use of that terminology. I get that 123ABC consist of alphanumerical characters. However, does 123 consist of numerical characters? I would say it consists of numbers. Does ABC consist of alpha characters? I would say it

RE: question about usage

Deidre, Yes, they ARE numbers. However, in an attempt to avoid confusion, the characters themselves are referred to as numeric characters because 123 is itself a number MADE UP of those characters 1, 2, and 3. So, to try and prevent people from confusing the NUMBER of 123 with the CHARACTERS

In this case I agree with you that number and letter are better choices. Deirdre Reagan wrote: Thanks all for the responses about alphanumeric characters and the use of that terminology. I get that 123ABC consist of alphanumerical characters. However, does 123 consist of numerical
