clientName=ClientType, description, path, mode
Argument |
Specify |
|---|---|
clientName |
The plug-in name |
ClientType |
The client type—valid types for non-filter clients are Standard, TakeControl, and DocReport |
description |
A string describing the FDK client |
path |
The path of the client’s DLL file—can be an absolute path, or relative to the install directory |
mode |
Which mode of FrameMaker is valid for this client—can be one of makers, structured, or all |
For example, the Mailer client setting looks like:
Mailer=Standard, Send Mail API Client, fminit\mailer.dll,all
Clients that are filters use the following format:
clientName=ClientType, [facet, format_ID, vendor_id,
display_name, ] description, path, mode, extension
Argument |
Specify |
|---|---|
clientName |
The filter name |
ClientType |
The filter type—one of FileToFileTextImport, FileToFileGFXImport, or ExportFilter |
facet |
The format of the original file—For graphic files, FrameMaker saves this facet along with the filtered representation of the graphic |
format_id |
The dot-extension of the file that identifies its format—for example, .rtf, .bmp, or .cgm |
vendor_id |
A four-character maximum string that identifies the vendor |
display_name |
The name to display in dialog boxes when the user chooses the filter |
description |
A string to describe the filter |
path |
The path of the filter’s DLL file—can be an absolute path, or relative to the install directory |
mode |
Which mode of FrameMaker is valid for this filter—can be one of makers, structured, or all |
For example, the RTF filter client setting looks like:
RTF=TextImport, RTF, RTF, FAPI, RTF, Rich Text Format
(RTF) Import, filters\rtfimprt.dll, all, ^.rtf
To create a client, you need the Frame Developer’s Kit (FDK) for Windows®. If you are installing an FDK client, follow instructions provided with the client to add its startup information to the initialization file. You can also load API clients simply by placing them in the Plugins folder and then starting FrameMaker.
The [DashPatterns] settings define the eight dash pattern choices that appear in the Dashed Line Options dialog box. You can edit these settings to replace the standard choices with custom ones:
1=Dash, 8, 6
2=Hidden, 4
3=Longdash, 16, 10
4=Dot, 2, 4
5=Dash-Dot, 12, 6, 2, 6
6=Dash-Dot-Dot, 12, 6, 2, 6, 2, 6
7=Chain, 12, 6, 6, 6
8=Phantom, 20, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6Each dash pattern contains a label that identifies the dash pattern in the Dashed Line Options dialog box and a repeating series of dash and gap segment lengths. Dashes and gaps are measured in points. The following illustration shows a dashed line and its segment description. The line is made up of a 12-point dash, a 6-point gap, a 6-point dash, and another 6-point gap. This pattern repeats to draw a dashed line of any length.
If a dash pattern setting contains an odd number of segment lengths, the last dash value is repeated for the final gap. For example, the following setting describes a dash pattern with 4-point dashes and 4-point gaps:
2=Hidden, 4
The dash pattern label cannot contain spaces or punctuation marks.
A thermometer is a horizontal bar that shows progress during operations that can take some time. One color, on the left of the bar, represents the percentage of the operation that is complete. Another color, on the right of the bar, represents the percentage remaining. The thermometer updates as the operation progresses. The [Thermometer] settings specify colors to use in thermometers as red, green, and blue (RGB) values. You can change these values to specify different colors.
ThermoDoneColor=255, 0, 255
ThermoRemainingColor=192, 192, 192This flag sets the Create radio buttons in the Compare Documents and Compare Books dialog boxes. When this setting is On, only a summary document is created. When this setting is Off, both summary and composite documents are created.
This flag controls the standard choice for marking insertions. You can choose:
ConditionInserted: The standard Inserted condition
ConditionTag: A custom condition
Nothing
Edit the file so the option you want is the only one without a semicolon before it. If you choose a custom condition for inserted text, specify its tag with the InsertConditionTag setting.
This flag controls the standard choice for marking deletions. You can choose:
ConditionDeleted: The standard Inserted condition
ConditionTag: A custom condition, ;
ReplacementText: Replacement text
Edit the file so the option you want is the only one without a semicolon before it.
Related flags:
If you choose a custom condition for MarkDeletedText, specify the condition tag in the DeleteConditionTag setting.
If you choose replacement text for the MarkDeletedText setting, add the replacement text as a text string in the DeleteReplacementText setting (in place of the ^).
Set this flag to On to add change bars to the composite document.
Set this flag to On to add hypertext links to the summary document.
Set this flag to On to compare elements’ attribute values also during doc comparison.
This flag controls when to mark an entire paragraph or table cell as changed. The preset value is 75; an entire paragraph is marked as changed if 75 percent or more of the words are changed. You can increase or decrease this percentage.
The flags in the Spelling section in the initialization file define the options for spell-checking and specify which style of quotation marks to use.
You can change any On setting to Off (and vice versa) and specify different characters in the last four lines. These values are updated every time you exit, using the current settings in the Spelling Checker Options dialog box.
The directory path to the FrameMaker linguistics folder.
Last modified time of user dictionary.
Last modified time of site dictionary.
Banner text appears in elements in Structured FrameMaker and instructs you on what content should go into an element. The flags in the BannerText section allow you to format and control the BannerText.
Specify an angle of the banner text (Regular, Italic or As Is)for the structured documents.
Specify a variation of the font width: UltraCompressed, ExtraCompressed, Compressed, Condensed, Narrow, Regular, Wide, Poster, or Expanded.
The background color of banner text that distinguishes it from the text in the document. To change, specify any color present in the document. To see available color names, click View > Color > Definitions in FrameMaker.
Off: Banner text in a file does not reappear if you delete it once or save the file and reopen it.
On: Banner text reappears after you delete it or save and reopen the file.
Windows fonts use different font angles even when font names are the same as on other platforms. The settings under [FontAngleAliases] assign angles used on other platforms to Windows angles and weights.
Defaults:
[FontAngleAliases]Obliqued=Oblique
Windows fonts use different font weights, even when font names are the same as on other platforms. The settings under [FontWeightAliases] assign weights used on other platforms to Windows weights.
Defaults:
[FontWeightAliases]Medium=RegularRoman=RegularSemi=SemiBoldDemi=DemiBoldBolded=Bold
Each setting under [WindowsToFrameFontAliases] assigns a Windows font to a FrameMaker font name. Thus, font information appears in the Windows interface as it does in other versions of FrameMaker. For example, Helvetica Narrow is normally a font family in Windows, but with aliasing Helvetica appears as a font family and Narrow appears as a variation in the Character Designer and Paragraph Designer.
Font aliasing also makes it possible to go back and forth easily between Windows and other platforms. FrameMaker automatically converts Windows fonts to their FrameMaker equivalents for you.
The settings under [WindowsToFrameFontAliases] use this syntax:
Windows-font [angle|*], [weight|*]=Frame-font [angle|*],
[weight|*], [variation|*]
Windows-font is a font family available in Windows. The angle for this font can be either Regular or Italic, and the weight can be one of the weights defined in the font profile under [Fonts]. You can also use an asterisk (*) to specify no particular angle or weight.
Frame-font is a font family available on the other platforms. The angle, weight, and variation for this family can be any of the ones defined in the font profile. If you use an asterisk (*), the FrameMaker font will use the angle, weight, or variation from the Windows font.
For example, this setting assigns the Windows font family Helvetica Narrow to the FrameMaker font name Helvetica with the Narrow variation:
HelveticaNarrow, * , *=Helvetica, * , * , Narrow
The two asterisks specify that angles and weights are not affected in this alias.
If you do not have an appropriate alias defined for a Windows font, the default alias is used:
Windows-font *, *=Frame-font *, *, *
You can add more aliases to [WindowsToFrameFontAliases] and change existing ones. Follow the syntax for any changes you make.
When you open a document that requires fonts not available on your system, an alert box appears telling you the document uses unavailable fonts. If you click OK, FrameMaker opens the document and substitutes the unavailable fonts with the fonts specified under [UnknownToKnownFontMap] in the initialization file. Initially, this section has a few lines of comments and some mappings for common Macintosh® fonts. You can change these mappings and add others.
The mappings under [UnknownToKnownFontMap] must use this syntax:
unavailable_Frame_font [angle|*], [weight|*], [variation|*]=available_Frame_font
[angle|*], [weight|*],[variation|*]
The angles, weights, and variations for these mappings can be any of the ones defined in the font profile under [Fonts]. You can also use an asterisk (*) to specify no particular angle, weight, or variation.
For example,
Lumina, *, *=Helvetica, *, *, *
Helvetica, *, Light, *=Helvetica, *, Regular, *
Helvetica, *, *, UltraCompressed=Helvetica, *, *, NarrowIf you open a document with unavailable fonts and don’t have substitutes mapped for those fonts, FrameMaker replaces them with the default fonts defined under [Fonts] instead. Note that the settings under [UnknownToKnownFontMap] map one FrameMaker font to another. This is different from [WindowsToFrameFontAliases], which assigns a FrameMaker font name to an equivalent Windows font.
This section in the ini file contains settings for identifying foreign file formats, export filters, and import filters. FrameMaker provides these settings when you install filters. If you want to change any of the settings, install the filters again. Do not edit the settings manually in an initialization file.
This section in the ini file contains settings for working with the Repository Manager. When you establish a connection with Adobe Experience Manager server, you can configure the number of entries to show in the Recent (R)/Favourites (F) list.
This flag defines the maximum number of recently visited files to show in the recent/favorite list. Default value is 5.
This flag defines the maximum number of favorite folders to show in the recent/favorite list. Default value is 5.
