How eliminate line break after JPN opening parenthesis

  • October 23, 2009

Is there a way to force my JPN parenthesis marks to stay with the parenthesis text?

If the opening parenthesis mark occurs at end of a line it does not stay with the contents of the parenthesis, for example:

...................end of line『
parenthesis』

I have verified that the JPN opening paranthesis mark is not in the "Allow line breaks after" list.

Thank you for any help!

    Karen,

    I have do worked with this myself, but the keyword you are looking for is "Kumihan" — unfortunately there is no Wikipedia entry for this available, only a very brief German text. But it is mentioned in the FrameMaker online help as well as in two PDF documents:

    As far as I understand it, you have to edit the "Kumihan Tables" in a MIF format, then you can import such a MIF fragment into your documents.

    To start, you can save one of your documents as MIF and search inside the MIF file for "Kumihan" to see whether any specifications are available. I guess that default entries are only available in documents created on a Japanese system…

    Let’s see, whether you or I find time to proceed in this direction.

    Thank you Michael, this is so helpful! Unfortunately, it looks like the fix for my problem requires opening the FrameMaker files in an Asian locale, which is going to be extremely difficult and painful for our process. It would be wonderful if Frame could implement this functionality for an ENU locale.

    Thanks again!

    Well, Karen,

    I am under the impression that it is not necessary to do that. My path

    of evaluation would be:

    • Switch the system locale of a computer to Japanese (if you don't

    have access to a real Japanese setup)

    • Start FrameMaker and create a blank new file, save as MIF

    • Open the MIF to find hopefully the default Japanese Kumihan tables

    Back on my standard setup I would

    • check if the Kumihan tables need any modification

    • Import the MIF segment into one of my existing Japanese documents to

    see if they are applied

    Unfortunately I have no time at the moment to test this in person.
