output autonumber as text in xml-file

[_Anna_Furtner_]

Hi All,

just wanted to know if it is possible to take the autonumber that is created via the EDD or a paragraph format in the application template and put it in some attribute or - even better - output it as text in the xml-file.
Btw: I'm still using FM8, if that makes any difference.

Thanks for all suggestions,
Anna

Hi Anna,

Generally, an autonumber is considered part of the document's formatting so it is not normally exported to XML. I am not sure if there is a built-in way of assigning it to an attribute in FrameMaker, but you could do this with FrameScript if necessary.
