Round trip table properties

Understand XML roundtripping for table properties in Adobe FrameMaker.

Read-write rules handle the roundtripping of table formatting properties. The new R/W rule mapping for the table cell properties is as follows:

Property	Non-CALS R/W Rule	CALS R/W Rule	Attribute Value
`FP_CellAngle`	cell angle	rotate	Integer
`FP_CellOverrideFill`	fill override	NA	Integer corresponding to FDK values
`FP_CellUseOverrideFill`	use fill override	NA	0 = False Nonzero value = True
`FP_CellOverrideShading`	shading override	NA	Tag of `FO_Color`
`FP_CellUseOverrideShading`	shading override	NA	0 = False Nonzero value = True
`FP_CellOverrideBottomRuling`	bottom ruling override	NA	Tag of `FO_RulingFmt`
`FP_CellUseOverrideBRuling`	bottom ruling override	NA	0 = False Nonzero value = True
`FP_CellOverrideLeftRuling`	left ruling override	NA	Tag of `FO_RulingFmt`
`FP_CellUseOverrideLRuling`	left ruling override	NA	0 = False Nonzero value = True
`FP_CellOverrideRightRuling`	right ruling override	NA	Tag of `FO_RulingFmt`
`FP_CellUseOverrideRRuling`	right ruling override	NA	0 = False Nonzero value = True
`FP_CellOverrideTopRuling`	top ruling override	NA	Tag of `FO_RulingFmt`
`FP_CellUseOverrideTRuling`	top ruling override	NA	0 = False Nonzero value = True

The read-write rule mapping for the table row properties is as follows:

Property	Non-CALS R/W Rule	CALS R/W Rule	Attribute Value
`FP_RowKeepWithNext`	keep with next	NA	0 = False Nonzero value = True
`FP_RowKeepWithPrev`	keep with next	NA	0 = False Nonzero value = True
`FP_RowStart`	row placement	NA	Integer corresponding to FDK values

Property

Non-CALS R/W Rule

CALS R/W Rule

Attribute Value

FP_RowKeepWithNext

keep with next

0 = False

Nonzero value = True

FP_RowKeepWithPrev

keep with next

0 = False

Nonzero value = True

FP_RowStart

row placement

Integer corresponding to FDK values

In the following example, the prop5 attribute controls the bottom ruling of the table.

element "tablecell"
{
   is fm table cell element;
   attribute "prop1" is fm property right ruling override;
   attribute "prop2" is fm property use right ruling override;
   attribute "prop3" is fm property top ruling override;
   attribute "prop4" is fm property use top ruling override;
   attribute "prop5" is fm property bottom ruling override;
   attribute "prop6" is fm property use bottom ruling override;
   attribute "prop7" is fm property left ruling override;
   attribute "prop8" is fm property use left ruling override;
   attribute "prop9" is fm property cell angle;
}

In the following example, the att1, att2, att3, and att4 attributes control the shading properties of the table cell:

element "tablecell2"
{
   is fm table cell element;
   attribute "att1" is fm property shading override;
   attribute "att2" is fm property use shading override;
   attribute "att3" is fm property bottom ruling override;
   attribute "att4" is fm property use bottom ruling override; 
   attribute "att5" is fm property fill override;
   attribute "att6" is fm property use fill override;
}
