You can achieve the normal appearance with an sl, but that's a flagrant misrepresentation of the content.

Any thoughts or suggestion? I'm using XML Mind 4.5.0 and its nifty XHTML output, but I'd have the question whatever tool I was using.

I added a <Topichead> to my DITAmap to generate a title for my document. My hope was that it would save me from having to set up a separate topic that contained just a title for my document. However, I find that the title that I defined using <Topichead> does not display when I use FrameMaker to generate my document from my DITAmap. My topics display just fine, but not the document title.

Help?

When I import a graphic into my structured FM document, it centers the image. How can I modify the FrameMaker EDD to position anchored frames on the right by default?

 In the EDD, I changed the "align" attribute in my Image element from "string" to "choice" and defined a list of choices (left, center, or right). When I import a graphic, I set the attribute value to "right, but of course it doesn't affect the graphic position because I don't know how to define "right" for FrameMaker. 

We're moving from unstructured FM to Structured FM and DITA. Our procedures have always used this hiearchy:

    Part 1

          Step A

                  a.

 

In DITA, we'll be limited to two step levels. Do we need to throw out our old hiearchy and adopt a much more simple approach; for example:

I'm trying to get to grips with ditaval and props as a means of handling conditions, and already have a couple of questions.

1. Does the example here show correct use of the props attribute for later conditional processing with a ditaval file?
