Re: Converting fm files to xml

2008-06-12 Thread Lynne A. Price
Daniel,

1) Is another attribute written instead of the href attribute?

2) Are you sure your r/w rules are being read? It could be a search path 
issue. Does your application definition (probably in structapps.fm) specify 
a complete pathname for the rules file. (One simple way to verify that the 
correct file is being read is to add a new rule with a syntax error and 
confirm that FM reports the syntax error.)

Converting fm files to xml

2008-06-10 Thread Daniel Osborn
Dear Framers,

I am trying to save lots of .fm files as .xml in FM 7.2.

I've written an application and when I save a single .fm file as .xml it works 
fine.

When I use the Utility: File  Utilities  Convert structured documents, 
something goes wrong.

The conversion runs fine but the 'href' attribute for the images is not 
included in the output files.

My rules file includes the line: 
   attribute href is fm property file;

And, as I say, when I save an individual file as xml it's fine, so it looks 
like a bug.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix or workaround this?

Thanks,
Daniel
