Hi,

I search a best way to export in xml format a property text of element cross-refrence ?

I export without any problem the properties "format" and "srcfile" .

Sample : <mylinkfile format = "like file" srcfile = "FicArbo-Demarches.fm#Fic004"/>

But I can not get the "text" associated with the cross-reference element.

I specify that :

1) the mylinkfile element is declared as cross-reference element in my edd.

2) the text has been entered via the "text" field of the marker element.

3) the DTD description is

                <!ELEMENT mylinkfile (#PCDATA) >

               <!ATTLIST mylinkfile

                     idref     IDREF     #IMPLIED

                     text      CDATA     #IMPLIED

                     format    CDATA     #IMPLIED

                     srcfile   CDATA     #IMPLIED >

4) no rules  

I may be trying to do something that is impossible to work.

Thank you for your help

Out of the box, FrameMaker does not export to XML the text displayed by a cross-reference. With some programming (a script or API client), it is possible to export the text. Note that there are design issues to consider. For example, a cross-reference format can include font changes. Would you want them represented in the attribute value?

Thank you your answer.

I just need to get the text back. I do not need the Style Sheets attached to the text.
