Question

Unreliable display of named image frames via EDD

Hi all,

I have formatted my <prolog> element to display named images frames from the reference page above and below. The intention is to distinguish this area for the editor.

However, the lower frame is displayed very unreliable. For example, if I insert a <keywords> element with a single <kexword> child element then it is not displayed. As soon as I add another <keyword> child the line appears. But if I delete this second <keyword>, the line stays visible the way it should have been from begin with. After saving and reloading it usually is not visible either, moving the elements in the prolog around a bit makes the lower line visible again.

I could not get this to work reliable, does anybody have a recommendation?

Robert

Hi Robert...

Take a look at the default DITA-FMx EDDs (download the trial and harvest whatever is useful from the apps). We provide exactly what you're talking about and it seems to work fine. Use the FirstParagraphRules and LastParagraphRules nodes in the <prolog> element definition ..

Format rules for first paragraph in element

  1. In all contexts.

          Advanced properties

              Frame above element: SingleLine

Format rules for last paragraph in element

  1. In all contexts.

         Advanced properties

             Frame below element: SingleLine

Cheers,

...scott

Hi scott,

actually that is what I use in the EDD (with different frame names). I found out now that when I autoinsert keywords elements together with a ressourceid into the prolog (rather than requiring the writer to insert them manually) then the display works all right.
