Re: Default anchored frame position

[Stéphane Bonhomme <s.bonhomme@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your quick answer. I'm using a custom DTD (which is a kind of 
simplification of xhtml). and working with an EDD. I have the following 
in my DTD :

<!ELEMENT img      EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST img   align  CDATA     #IMPLIED>

(this is simplification, there are other attributes for img)
And the rw rules are, for this element :

element "img" {
 is fm graphic element;
/* some other rules */
 attribute "style"
 {
   is fm property position;
   value "float:left" is fm property value run into paragraph;
   value "display:inline" is fm property value inline;
 }
}

This works fine when saving/reading a document; but I cannot get 
FrameMaker setting automagically the position propety to "run into 
paragraph" when inserting a new img element using FM interface. As the 
xml attribute is mapped to a fm property it is not present in the EDD 
definition of img so I cannot give a default value for it there.
I also tried to give a default value to this attribute in the dtd :

<!ATTLIST img   align  (float:left|display:inline) "float:left">

But that doesn't solved my problem (which is understandable).

If I don't find any simple solution, I wil end up writing a fdk client 
to do so.

Stephane.
