Question

How do I center a figure title in a DITA 1.3 topic in FrameMaker 2019?

Hello forum,

I already asked two reps from Adobe this question.  But, I have not heard back from either one.

How do I center a figure (image) title in a DITA 1.3 topic using FrameMaker 2019?  Is there an attribute or some other means to make this happen, or is it done through some post process manipulation?

I will be outputting to both PDF and Responsive HTML5.

In my opinion, there should be an easy way to center figure (and table) titles within FrameMaker 2019 in DITA 1.3 (i.e. topic).

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

 

Regards,

 

Jim

Please change the figure.title to be center aligned in the template used for authoring and publishing and that should work.

 

 
 

 

the alignment has been changed to "center"

    Hello Amitoj,

     

    Thanks for the solution.  Can you tell me the default location of the template(s) to be modified (per your suggestion) for DITA 1.3 topics?  Is it in the outputs folder link listed above?

     

    Also, what about when you PUBLISH to PDF or Responsive HTML5 output?  Will the modifications made carry through when published to a PDF file?   Also, when publishing to Responsive HTML5, will this modication carry  through to the browser output or does a CSS or ditafm-output.ini file need to be edited?   Right now, changing the 0 to a 1 on line 12 of the ditafm-output.ini, gives you control on whether the figure title stays above the image or below the image during publish. 

     

     

    Would another line need to be added to the ditafm-output.ini to center the figure title under the graphic or is that part handled automatically by the template that was modified?  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Regards,

    James

    Hi James,

     

    The publishing templates for PDF are in the STS file. File -> Publish. Right click on PDF and edit settings. PDF templates option has the templates used during PDF publishing.

     

    please try out HTML output once. We are using DITA-OT for generating intermediate output from ditamap and then use the FrameMaker publishing engine. However, you could convert ditamap to book with components and then generate HTML which would then use the FrameMaker core Publishing engine and there the paragraph designer change should be carried forward.

     

    Thanks

    Amitoj Singh
