Understand conditional text in XML in Adobe FrameMaker.
Structured FrameMaker allows you to export and import all conditional text (visible and hidden), along with information about the condition tags, such as their show/hide status, color, and style.
To preserve conditional text when saving and opening XML files, the XML file that FrameMaker generates contains the following:
Conditional text tags corresponding to the conditional text present in the document.
Condition indicators—color and effect— associated with each conditional text tag.
The status—show or hide—for each condition tag.
Start and end markers for sections corresponding to each tag.
In addition to normal text, support for conditional text in XML allows an entire table or table rows to be conditional. The same applies to footnotes, markers, and anchored graphics. Also, conditional text can be inside a text inset (XML or text).
