Re: Master page by paragraph tag

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

Text Structure Consulting, Inc. and Tassos Anastasiou have developed
a plug-in for applying master pages that is very similar to the FM 7.0 
capability for structured documents. It allows selection of master pages 
by element and context label for all types of elements: tables, graphics, 
footnotes, etc., as well as the containers supported by FM 7.0. It also 
allows master pages to be specified for the last page of an element.

The plug-in is currently available in FM+SGML 6.0 either through a menu
or on SGML import. FM 7.0 versions of the menu command and for XML and
SGML import will be available shortly.

Depending on demand, we are considering enhancements such as:
- Selecting master pages for structures that fit on a single page
- Supporting unstructured documents by allowing master pages to be selected
  by paragraph tag, table tag, markers of specified types, markers of
  specified content. Selection by paragraph tag would be available for
  paragraphs within tables and footnotes.

Pricing has yet to be determined. Please contact us at info@txstruct.com
or at (510) 583-1505 if you would like more information and to give us
feedback on your enhancement requirements.
