This is an added question to my previous question. The framemaker documents are structured.  Can a text inset be used in a structured document?

To create an inset, place your cursor where you want the inset and use what you would in a standard paragraph-based doc...File > Import > File, and then choose Import by Reference.

The content will come in, and if the elements in the inset are not defined in your EDD, you'll see a NoName element for the undefined element labels.

Here's what it looks like when my students bring in a structured inset in my structured authoring course:

Note that the parent element is undefined, but the sections are part of their current EDD.

I need to convert the text to SGML.  Will the NO NAME element convert to SGML?

The root element in your inset should be something that is defined in your EDD.

Yes, in a structured document you can have structured insets.

what is the structured element that would be used?  My lead is concerned it is not defined in the EDD.
