Hi   Having an external DTD is very good news. The DTD is part of the core XML specification, so if it works with Epic editor it will work with FrameMaker. One of XML's key features is it's application independence.   Here are some of the steps that you need to follow so that you can use your DTD with FrameMaker. Please refer to the complete instructions that you will find in the Structure Application Developer...

Thanks Ian. That is certainly a bit of complexity just to enjoy some XSLT during roundtripping. I see how it is done but I think I'll just hope that I never have the need to do it.   Russ

hi,   sorry for there are so many questions from me.   I tried to create my XML Application following this PDF.? And I have a problem to add the Strcured Application element (the circled step 2),could you please take some time to show me how to do this in detail? please see my attached markup file.   thanks a lot!

yes, I do have an DTD now, but the dtd file is an external one not created from FM, it is suitable to epic editor.   could you please tell me how to use this dtd file to get an edd file in FM?   thanks a lot!

Good morning,   I've successfully gotten my FrameMaker XML application running and exporting millions and millions of lines of data.? I was SO excited to be able to do this completely on my own (and with several of you!)   But, we transferred the data to our vendor who is creating a search engine for us and they ran across a problem that they (as non-FrameMaker users) and I (not really an "XML" person)...

Lyncca,   I do not normally export to XML, but I have played around with it to see what is involved. In my read/write rules, I have the following:   element "Graphic" { ? is fm graphic element; ? attribute "file" is fm property file; }   This tells FrameMaker that the file attribute of the Graphic element is to hold the FrameMaker property file, which is the location of the graphic file. On XML...

Lyncca,   FrameMaker does declare the entities in the header of the basic XML file.   But I always use the method Van is recommending, just one addition: You have to make sure that the external DTD does not contain an attribute "entity".   - Michael

Hi,   If I add a gif-image (for example) to structured doc and write out XML, fm8 writes out the dpi value to dpi-attribute (dtd uses default fmimage attrs in this case) if the facet is not resized. If it wsa resized, frame writes out impsize. This is correct behaviour for raster images.   If I use png images, frame never writes the dpi value out and reading the xml back produces very bad quality image. This is a major...

Some other considerations on graphic and file entities:   1) When a DTD defines both file and entity attributes (as does DocBook, for example), FrameMaker always uses the entity attribute for export.   2) Read/write rules can change the attribute names for these purposes.   3) In the absence of rules that change the entity name associated with these properties, FrameMaker assumes that an attribute named file is used...
