Element (Container): Chapter

Valid as the highest-level element?

or is only the whole book (FrameBook) valid as the highest-level element?

Using Frame 12.

Correct answer Lynne A. Price

Every element that can be the root element of an individual file or entire book must be valid at the highest level. In your example, both Chapter and Appendix would need to be valid at the highest level.

Psst – why do you keep posting structured FM questions in the unstructured forum?

I'm very confused, Jeff. I've just been through a whole slanging match with frameusers forum about how I SHOULDN'T be trying to publish my epub as a structured document, so that's what I think I'm trying to do.

I think I have to build a CSS and the only way I can do that is with an EDD. I guess I'm thinking wrongly then?

Got any ideas about where I can go read about these issues? Online Frame help isn't very comprehensive, so I'm not finding it very useful.

Thanks.

Sorry, no idea – I’m a TCS FM (unstructured) to RH guy – you sound like you’re trying to use the new FM Publish functionality to go to ePUB, which has RH guts inside it, but a not-super-exposed UI to be able to play with it. AFAIK, FM will create a CSS based on your paragraph and character tags for you (I know that RH does – it creates a CSS for every topic that gets created). In RH you can play around with your CSS in an external editor and tell RH to use it on all topics when the output is produced, but I have no clue how that’s accomplished in the FM Publish feature (sorry)…
