How to filter by attributes with type Strings

The documentation is not really detailed about setting attributes with type Strings. I assume I've to type each string value in a new line in the set attributes dialog box. This works fine and my XML looks like this<br /><br /><para CMS = "prodA prodB"><br /><br />having set the two string values "prodA" and "prodB".<br /><br />But how to filter these attributes? The filter CMS="prodA" shows my paragraph correctly, but CMS="prodB" does not show this paragraph as it should. Filters seem to match only the first of the set of string values.<br /><br />I would like to show this paragraph in two document versions for these two products prodA and prodB.<br /><br />Framemaker 8.0.3<br /><br />Tilman

Hi Tilman,

I can also vouch for the quality of this program. It can also be driven by FrameScript or the FDK, making further automation possible.

Tilman,

this is something that AFAIK is not supported by FrameMaker's own attribute based filtering.

But, without changing your documents, if you install the *free* ABCM (Attribute-based condition management) plug-in from weststreet consulting, you will succeed. Be sure to read the tutorial!
