Thank you! I used Notepad (and ChatGPT for instructions on how to display particular elements) and this was a good solution. Thanks again. ... View more

Does this mean that it's not enough to use a filtering value of "exclude" - that you also need a filtering value to "include"? THis seems pointless to me. I would assume that it's enough to flag certain elements to exclude (and anything unflagged is included by default) ... View more

Hi,  In Framemaker there's a toggle to switch to XML view. Is that useful? Thanks... ... View more

yes, that's exactly right - if I use the appid attribute (like the DITA-bible tells me), then I also want to see that text when I am editing the document. If that is achievable via a template modification, then great! (My Robohelp person says he thinks he can use this type of data when rendering the help...so things are looking up). Now - how do I modify the FrameMaker template? Sorry, I am just a content author... ... View more

I can set a value on the id attribute on the resourceid element inside a prolog element.... and at first glance that would seem to be a workable solution... except that based on DITA documentation, this method has been deprecated: Versions of DITA before 1.3 used the @iDattribute on the <resourceid> element to specify an ID for an external application. Beginning with DITA 1.3, this use of the @iDattribute is deprecated in favor of using the @appid attribute. The trouble is, if I use appid instead, then the text that I input there  (id string) is not visible in Framemaker. And in order to manage all these strings, I need to be able to see them and list them and so forth... I am happy to use any solution that works. I am sure there are utilities in structured framemaker that makes it easy to list certain elements and edit them easily... (in unstructured framemaker, for example, you can list markers by type, very useful...) ... View more

sorry, what is a topic offlist? Thanks again for helping. ... View more

Thanks for helping! Actually, I'm at a loss because the Create Mini TOC command is greyed out. Is there any part of the structured document I should be inserting it at? ... View more

Actually I just learned that what I need is to create context-sensitive help anchors. I know that the "resource id" element is probably what I need. I also understand that I have to fill out three of its attributes: appid, appname, and ux-context-string. I understand what ux-context-string is, and I have that data, but what values do I use for the other two attributes? Eventually we use Robohelp to output the help...   ... View more

I closed everything, then reopened just a file, then the command was available. I guess "Validate" does not produce the same results as the Console.  ... View more

Thanks again! Actually, I don't need to open a destination file... I want to navigate within a single file, based on the xrefs. It doesn't work for me... ... View more

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I've tried double-clicking. This opens the Link dialog box. The links are, as far as I can see, correct. But there's no command there to actually open the linked heading. In Unstructured Framemaker, double clicking a link opens the Cross Reference dialog box, with the handy "Go to Source" button. That's what I want to achieve in Structured. (In Structured, I can open the Cross References pod. There, too, all my links are listed. There's a Go to Location button, but it doesn't do anything.) ... View more

Hi, I just upgraded to FM 2017. I'm on Windows 10 using a big monitor, with these settings (see screenshot below): It looks okay, but in fact the program is not usable, because the cursor jumps elsewhere when I try to click into a menu command. The Zoom - Default setting is no solution. Any suggestions? thank you ... View more
