RE: Space above tables in Structured FrameMaker

[DW Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lynne describes perfectly how it is done in a structured doc. But there's 
one more trick that could be added. If different tables require different 
space above settings, you could add a choice-type SpcAbv attribute to the 
parent element which contains the table (i.e., the element whose format 
rules specify the paragraph tag to be used for the anchoring paragraph). 
The default value of the attribute would specify the most commonly used 
space above settings The other values (assuming there are a finite number 
of possibilities) would select a different space above setting.

The values of that attribute would be used in the Format Rules, where each 
rule would modify the space above setting for the anchoring paragraph.
