Smart Paste Tutorial

Hi All,

I want to use Smart Paste to copy and paste a small snippet of XML content to my FrameMaker document. Is there a tutorial or some documentation available on the Smart Paste feature? I can look at the DITA Smart Paste stylesheets, but they are large and hard to decode. A small example that I can adapt to my use would be great. Thank you very much.

Rick

Rick,

   Smart Paste deduces structure from unstructured material on the clipboard and pastes the result into a structured document. The existing Smart Paste XSLT transforms are complicated because deducing structure from what's in a Word document is complicated.  If you want to copy and paste XML, the material you have is already structured. Why do you want to use Smart Paste?

I have a snippet of XML that I want to copy from a text file and have it transformed as I paste it. I was hoping I could do that with Smart Paste.
