Learn how to remove an element in a structured document with Adobe FrameMaker.
You can remove any element, with or without its contents. For example, you sometimes want to delete a <section> element and its contents, or delete the <section> but leave the contents in place, so you can place them in a different element.
For elements that are defined to contain text or other elements, you can also delete the contents and leave the empty element in the document. For elements that are single objects without contents, you must delete the entire element.
To remove an element and its contents, select the element and press Delete.
To remove an element but not its content, select the element and choose . FrameMaker reformats the contents based on the new context, if necessary.
To remove the contents of an element but not the element itself, select the contents and press Delete.
To remove an element and its contents and replace it with another element, select the element. Then select the replacement element in the Elements catalog, and click Insert. A new empty element replaces the selected element and its contents.
To remove all elements from a document to base it on paragraph and character styles, choose . If the document has additional structured flows, repeat this command for each flow.
FrameMaker removes all elements from the current text flow. If the formatting was created or modified by format change lists in the Elements catalog, the removed elements become format overrides in the document.
