FrameMaker 7.1 structapps.fm template

["Lynne A. Price" <lprice@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Text Structure Consulting is pleased to make available a FrameMaker 7.1 
version of its template for application definition files. This file differs 
from the version of structapps.fm that comes with FM 7.1 in the following ways:

- A FrameMaker 7.x application definition file can define both XML and SGML 
applications. The permitted content of the two types of applications 
differs. However, the formatting of the application definition file 
included with FrameMaker 7.x does not distinguish them. Instead of 
prefixing the name of every application with "Application Name:", the 
revised template uses "XML Application Name:" or "SGML Application Name:".

- The revised template adds a Comment element, permitted within and between 
application definitions, that allows you to insert comments in the main 
flow of an application definition file. Since the trick of placing comments 
in background flows on master pages is no longer necessary, the revised 
template removes the First master page, and moves the comment it contained 
to a Comment element.

- The revised template adds attributes CommentsDisplayColor, 
CommentsDisplayWeight, CommentsPrefix, and CommentsSuffix to the 
StructuredSetup highest-level element. These attributes control formatting 
of comments in the same way that attributes of the same name on the 
highest-level element of an EDD control formatting of EDD comments.

- The revised template changes the prefix for the XmlCharacterEncoding and 
XmlWriteRules elements to indicate that these elements were supported only 
in FrameMaker+SGML 6.0.

- The revised template inserts a page break before an application 
definition if the application does not fit in entirety on the current page. 
Thus, if possible, the entire application definition fits on one page.

- The revised template puts the name of the current application definition 
in the running header of the page.

- The FrameMaker 7.1 version of the revised template uses the prefix 
"Application Definition Version 7.1" instead of "Application Definition 
Version 7.0" for the highest-level element.

A minor modification to the running header in the FrameMaker 7.0 template 
has also been made.

  Both the FrameMaker 7.0 and the FrameMaker 7.1 templates can be 
downloaded from the Tips and Free Tools section of http://www.txstruct.com. 
Please let me know of any problems or suggestions for change.
