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?

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.


For database publishing, you might want to have a look at the freebie Miramo Personal Edition from Datazone (see: http://www.miramo.com/english/overview/dp_download.html). This will give you much more control in formatting the output from the database. You can run this in conjunction with FM (as the publisher) or use their mmComposer component without the need for FM as the publisher.

I'll post the MIF in MML info later, when I've got access to FM.
