CERN | IPT Group | TDR FrameMaker Template

Technical Design Report FrameMaker Template

3  Some things are not allowed!

No format overrides

To format paragraphs and characters only use the paragraph and character catalogs! I.e. Never use the paragraph and character designers or anything else under the Format menu. Format overrides introduce inconsistencies in the text and will anyhow be remov

Do not modify predefined formats

This may introduce inconsistencies with other predefined formats in the template, and the automatic conversion to WWW may produce incorrect results. Again, the changes you make will be lost when the document is automatically updated to conform to a future

Do not change paragraph format tag names

Paragraph format tags are used in the definition of other FrameMaker formats (such as variables and paragraph formats) and generated files. Changing tag names may make the FrameMaker template malfunction. Also, the automatic conversion to WWW will break.

Never use File Import Formats... to update formats

Updating formats manually may corrupt the integrity of the template. Instead, always use the supplied utility to update formats from a reference template.

Never delete cross-reference markers

This will generate unresolved cross-references in the book. When replacing text, turn on View:Text Symbols to make these markers visible.

Do not add new formats

Please report any missing formats and these will be added to the template thus retaining consistency.
