Structure App Designer Setup for Schemas

Question

Fellow Forum Members,My stylesheets are 31 separate FO-XSL files. There is one MAIN XSL file that contains links to all 30 XSL files.  It's the only file that needs to be pointed to using a directory path. In addition, I do not have a single  DTD.file. Instead the S1000D_4-0-1 folder contains 16 FOS files, 51 XSD files, and 16 DCF files. Can anyone out there please provide a brief overview on how I'm suppose to setup all my Schema and Stylesheet files to the dialog window shown below:In what field do I insert my path to my MAIN FO-XSL stylesheet file? The word "Stylesheet" doesn't show anywhere in the dialog window?Also how do I setup the multitude of files within my S1000D_4-0-1 folder?  Do all of thes files need to be converted into EDD files?  I don't see any field in the S.A.D. dialog window that will allow me to define a path to all of my S1000D_4-0-1 schema files. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Binar...I'm not clear on what you're expecting from FrameMaker in this situation. XSL-FO stylesheets are typically used to create page-formatted output (PDF and other). If you've got these stylesheets, you don't really need FrameMaker (although FrameMaker will do a far better job than FO can).While there may be some way to set up a structured application to kick off a "build" of your stylesheets, you'll likely need to work closely with a consultant who understands the way structure applications work. The Structure Application Designer is poorly documented and isn't probably what you should be using .. read the Structure Application Developer's Guide to learn how to set them up via the file system instead. This is a very edge case .. possibly the only one like it, so you're not likely to hear from someone else who has done this before.In general, you'd use a build scripting language like Ant to set up an XSL-FO based build process.Good luck!...scott
