Format a text-crossref

Hi all,
in the DITA EDD the fm-xref element does not suport any formatting in itself it seems. Thus we use the crossref-definitions in the Framemaker template to apply a chracter style (simple underlined blue). However, if you insert a crossref that contains a text string as anchor (e.g. "For more information, click here.") then it is not possible to apply a formatting.
How can such a crossref be formatted? Does the EDD offer any possibilities?
Robert

Hi Robert...
You'll need to edit the EDD to add a context rule that applies a character tag to text in an fm-xref that has no @outputclass attribute. This may work, but might not as well since the processing that happens to build the cross-ref may wipe out this formatting. The reason you'd check for an @outputclass value is that when you select to use "Format" rather than "Text" FM assigns the cross-ref format name to the fm-xref as outputclass="fm:FORMATNAME" .. but when you select "Text", it doesn't add an @outputclass value, so that's what you'd check for.
It would be nice if you could set your own @outputclass value, but it appears that (in FM11) FM wipes out any @outputclass that you set on an fm-xref. If FM supported both the fm-xref and the xref, this wouldn't be a problem .. but they removed that support in FM9.
DITA-FMx supports both models which allows greater flexibility when creating cross-refs.

Formatting the text file

hi folks,
I have an text file with records, each record has several field values and there is blank space between them, I need to remove the blank spaces, is there a way that i can do with all records at one stretch? Instead doing it for each record.
I know it is not related to SAP but I need some help in this regard as there are a lot of records and formatting each record manually is extremely painful. This is a corrected file manually on a spreadsheet and converted into the text file from thereon.
Any help is really appreicated.
Thanks,
SK

Hi,
What you are trying to do with the text file after removing the spaces?
Are you going to use in SAp Upload? or just to remove the spaces in text fiel?
If you are using it for other purposes, you should not remove the spaces, because for that particular field no data will be entered.
(generally we remove the other chars's like " by Find and Replace method)
Generally we format the text files from the Excel to utilise it somewhere?
And we won't remove the spaces for surther uses.

I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

Formatting XML text

Hi. I've been trying to figure out XML in flash and found a
(old) tutorial that worked for me. i want to format the text using
html tags. I have found other tutorials on this claiming it's easy
using CDATA, but i can't get it to work with mine. It either shows
the text with the tags, or NULL when i add it wrong. I understand i
need to add bold fonts, etc, but i'm adding the code wrong.
If this IS simple (or even possible), will someone help and
show where it needs to be placed in the code? Any help at all is
appreciated.
Thanks.

You do use CDATA tags if you want to put HTML inline in your
XML. When you
do that though, you need to set the htmltext property of the
field, not the
text property. And not all HTML will work - tables for
instance.

Formatting dynamic texts

Hi,
in SmartForms I use dynamic texts to output information in the form. It works fine but I have to format some of them for a smaller or bigger font. SAP does not give any possibility to set the paragraph and/or character formats like in the case of text elements.
How can I format my texts ??
Thanks.

Hi Jorge,
It is possible to create paragraph format and character formats in smartforms.
Go to tcode-SMARTSTYLES and create a style and then specify ur style in smartforms
Globalsettings->Formattributes->outputoptions->style
if ur copying predefined smartform the copy the used style into Zstyle and make further changes like ur own formata and use it...
Thanks&Regards,
Rama Krishna.
