FM8 XML Generation Question

Hello

When saving as XML the document I am working with generates one xml file and many .eXX files. How can I set it in the read/write rules or otherwise to generate multiple XML files.

For example in the book XML when i save as XML I get an entity reference<!ENTITY bkc1 SYSTEM "framed.frnt_revisionsummary_Revisions.e01"> and a file created called "framed.frnt_revisionsummary_Revisions.e01".

Is it possible to change the reference to <!ENTITY bkc1 SYSTEM "framed.frnt_revisionsummary_Revisions.XML">  and generate the file as  "framed.frnt_revisionsummary_Revisions.xml"

Thanks.

Mike

Hi Mike,

I don't believe it is possible to change this behavior without some programming or perhaps FrameScript. FrameMaker attempts to maintain a single-document model when saving a book, hence the generation of entities referenced from a central file, which are actually XML files. I've used FDK programming to get around this. Another option might be FM9, which apparently allows you to keep XML files in a book like FM files, in which case you could just keep them XML all the time and just save individually like normal book components. I haven't tried this out yet, though.
