I have a serious doubt in Framemaker, i am good at XML, but very new to Framemaker. i know to convert XML to frame
maker but i am not able to place the elements in correct place for ex:

in my Xml i have tags like

<book>
<author> dk </author>
<bookname>my New Book</bookname>
<verifiedby>enig</verifiedby>
</book>

when i convert this to frame maker i am just getting as follows

dk
my New Book
enig

But i need to make it as

my New Book enig dk

this is the format, i need. is this is related to template or EDD.

or if i want to use those element in a Table form (just like in web, table border is set to 0, so you cant see the table in the place.. but all are done with in a table.), what i have to do for that....

Thanks in advance

Vic

Vic,

To rearrange the order of XML elements, you should use XSLT. Neither the EDD nor the read/write rules have this capability.

FrameMaker 7.2 and later versions include the ability to automatically apply an XSLT stylesheet during import and/or export. I think this is what you might be looking for.

Vic,

If you are new to the product, you'll need to spend some time reading up on the Frame documentation, especially the Structure Developers Guide, found in the OnlineManuals folder in your installation area. This is reasonably complicated stuff that is beyond my ability to assist further, at least without retyping that book here. It can take some weeks or months to get up to speed with FM and XML import/export.

Of course, if you have specific questions that can be quickly answered in a format such as this, please feel free to post.

Russ
