Re: [Framers] $STRUCTDIR equivalent for user-specific structapps folder?
Hi Alan... Sadly, no .. not that I'm aware of. I've been requesting this for a while now, would be really nice to have a $USERDIR (or some such variable). Instead, I use a hard-coded path to "c:\fmapps" .. then have people install custom apps to that location. Would be really happy if someone were to point out that I'm wrong! :-) Cheers, ...scott On 10/18/18 1:59 PM, Alan Houser wrote: Colleagues, When defining new structured applications in the user-specific copy of structapps.fm ... is there an equivalent to the $STRUCTDIR variable?

Re: [Framers] Structured XML 'title' element (cuc tu)
Hi All, Had a nice chat with Rick the other day and he helped me understand quite a bit more about the structure and some navigation... We identified that the read-write rules are involved as removing that from the structured application definition stops the problem I was seeing. We were not sure exactly why it was happening though since the RW file does not declare anything about a 'title' element. I think I have enough to do what I need to do at the moment. Thanks all, and especially Rick!

[Framers] Error : Attribute has already been declared for element
Hi All Framers, I have a government supplied DTD that I suspect has some errors, but I have limited familiarity with structured authoring. Here is one of the errors and what I've done to try to understand it: XML Parser Messages (Document Prolog) Error at file \production.dtd, line 4038, char 16, Message: Attribute 'applicable' has already been declared for element 'test' Below I try to find all the related elements and attribute definitions in the DTD. I've indicated where I think the problem is in red font. It looks to me that the "applicable" attribute is declared right in the element and it is also declared through the additional attribute chain: taskatt > applidatt, where applidatt also declares the "applicable" attribute. Is this truly an error in the DTD that should be corrected or is it typical and should it be ignored?

[Framers] Old Title Info being dragged into the HTML 5 files
Hi I think that maybe this problem is slightly connected to the title info mentioned by Lin. I made new user guides based on an old template from an old book. In the Responsive HTML files that I made, the topic names of the Heading 1 is the name of something old that should not appear. This was fixable by making sure the TOC file appeared in the book file used to create the Help. BUT, the name of this old user guide appears as the file name for each Heading 1 HTML topic i.e. I get a whole lot of HTML files. In each folder one file (the H1 file) has the name of something old that should not be there. I opened all of the files by hand and made sure this does not appear in the document info field. I saved some of the files as MIF files and searched for this term, but did not find it. Does anyone have any idea where this problematic info could have come from and how to get rid of it? thanks -- Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: caroline.tab...@gmail.com ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
