Conditionalized cross-references

Hi Framers. Windows XP SP3, FrameMaker 8.0p277. We have a strange problem with our cross-references when they are made conditional. The definition of the cross-reference is: Italic$paratextDefault ¶ Font on page\ $pagenum It seems the Default ¶ Font makes the text unconditional, i.e. the text

Elchanan: I'll just quickly add that you can move to structured FrameMaker without using DITA. The relationship between the two is that structured FrameMaker supports XML (i.e., in FrameMaker, you can define your document like it is an XML file and optionally export it to XML), and DITA is a

Ah, see that's why I asked. I don't know anything about Sharepoint, so I didn't know those were required. If a person is already logged in, do they still need to provide that information? My client planned to make the links via Acrobat, so I suspect that if he can link from Acrobat, I can

How would you include the access credentials (login and password) in the URL? Our Sharepoint installation requires someone to be defined in SP as authorized. Would that be an issue? The same client wanting the watermark wants his PDF documents to contain Sharepoint links to other docs (tiffs,

We have to create a redline that compares a new version of a document to a previous version of the document, for each draft revision. The FrameMaker 9 Compare Documents utility works great for basic text. However, our documents are full of tables. Many, many very long tables. With FM's Compare
