Question

EDD rules documentation

Hi,

I want to create an EDD file from scratch. I am not an expert, but till now I make some changes to available EDD files to meet our needs. However, now I want to create an EDD from scratch. I wondered if there is any documentation available on EDD's different rules.

For example, I want o create an EDD file, which has a root element (BOOK) containing TITLE and CHAPTER elements. I want my TITLE element to be in the middle of the row. But I don't know how. I could change the casing and weight of the title but not its position. So, I wonder that is there any document available dedicated to EDD rules. I read various available ADOBE tutorial documents. But most of them concentrate on making a structured application. And there are just a couple of pages on making EDD files and most of them used the same sample (proposal sample). 

Thanks for your help in advance.

Sanam

Hi Sanam, it sounds like you want to read the Structured Application Development Guide. It has extensive information on EDD development. It is available from Adobe here:

    Thanks, Russ for your reply. I read this document before, but it also doesn't have full coverage of EDD rules. I believe there is no such document. I try to write different rules by looking at other EDDs, and document samples. But there is no document that explains each rule. All the documents I read talk about a type of rule in general and gave just a sample.

    Thanks again for your time

    Here is a direct link to the PDF that Russ is referring to:

    https://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/pdfs/fm-structure-app-dev-guide.pdf

    Starting with chapter 12, there are almost 100 pages of details on working with EDDs. If this isn't sufficient, I can offer you one-on-one online training on EDDs. I am currently working on a new EDD for a client. If you are interested, please contact me offlist. rick@frameexpert.com
