How do I specify different S1000D XSL stylesheets?

Report · Jun 17, 2015

Fellow Forum Members,

I am using FrameMaker 12 and need help with the included S1000D authoring tool. Mainly I need to know how I can prevent FrameMaker from using the default stylesheets located in the path below:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\S1000D\xslt

And instead I need FrameMaker to utilize stylesheets and a BREX which I specify and which are provided to me by the Army in the link below:

https://www.logsa.army.mil/mil40051/S1000D.cfm

I would be tremendously grateful if a fellow Framer out there can visit the link above and click on the download link labeled, "View Army S1000D Stylesheets " and try mounting these Army stylesheets and BREX and let me know if they work or do not work in FrameMaker 12. If they do indeed work in FrameMaker 12 where in the S1000D GUI do I have the ability to select a MAIN.xsl file which contains links to all the other XSL stylesheets?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I know this is a very late reply, but it may be useful for others who may have the same question.

The XSLT that is used by the FrameMaker S1000D application does not apply any formatting. Its role is to transform the S1000D XML structure into something that is more FrameMaker friendly then to revers the process when sving to XML. The formatting is handled by FrameMaker's element catalog which is defined by a FrameMaker EDD (Element Definition Document).
