Re: FrameMaker+SGML EDD question: Inline formats

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why not create a single text-range element named CharFormat, which has a 
single choice-type attribute whose values are Bold, Italics, Subscript, 
etc. The general rule for this element would specify itself as an 
inclusion, thus allowing you to apply multiple in-line formats to the same 
text. The format rule section has a rule for each attribute value. Later, 
if you decide to add more in-line formats, you just add them to the 
allowable choices for the attribute.
