Re: pure XML

Hi Meg, I think you're confusing pure with valid and impure with proprietary. A file can adhere to the XML standard without being valid against any particular DTD or schema, and being invalid against any content model doesn't mean it's not adhering to the XML standard. I shy away from

Hi Kevin, I completely agree! These days, walls between companies become porous. The whole company involves suppliers, customers, and competitors. Low transaction costs are more important than short-lived optimization. Anyway there are large sunk costs in establishing a publishing

Table Cell Sizes

I am having problems with table cells enlarging table enlarging or contracting based on the amount of data that is flowed into the table cells. I need for the cells to adhere to the pre-set size set in the table. Is there a setting in FrameMaker that modifies table behavior, allowing table

Hmmm... It seems you're right, and so this would be a limitation, if not a bug. Here's what I did: * Create a ref frame named MyPopup, and give it 5 commands. 4 commands display an alert, and one command displays a submenu. (Note: the chars display correctly in the submenu.) The submenu

RE: Flowing Tables into Structured FrameMaker

Hi Brenda, Are you using a custom tagset? The XML likely contains an attribute that indicates each column's width. Frame, on the other hand, uses its own table properties to determine a column's width. So...you have to write a kind of translation between the XML attribute and the
