Does anyone know if it's possible to use MML to get text to go into a table in a FrameMaker template please? What is the markup coding required to begin and end a table?

What are you trying to do?

If it's to get content from an external app into FM tables, generating MIF is a possibility. I've done it for spreadsheet content, hinted at here.


Hi Bob - I'm trying to mark up text coming from a database and pretag it so that it uses the correct formats on import to a FM doc. Most of the data is just plain text paras, that uses para tags with tabs to fall into columns. It's just the column headers that I want to put in a table because they need to be rotated otherwise the columns are too wide for the printed page.
