regarded as a format rule override. If the user re-imports element definitions with "Remove
Format Rule Overrides" on, the marker does not return to the type suggested by the EDD.
Setting a cross-reference format
A cross-reference format determines the wording and punctuation for a cross-reference. For
example, a format called Heading & Page might display a reference as See "Defining a
prefix or suffix" on page 17. A format called Page might display the same reference simply
as See page 17. Cross-reference formats are defined and stored in documents.
You can set an initial cross-reference format for a new instance of a cross-reference
element. When an end user inserts the element in a document, the specified format is
preselected in the Insert Cross-Reference dialog box.
To set a cross-reference format, insert an InitialObjectFormat element in the cross-
reference element's definition (after any attribute definitions). Then insert and define context
elements as necessary, and for each context insert a CrossReferenceFormat child
element and type the name of a format. The name must refer to a cross-reference format
stored in the documents. For example:
Element (CrossReference): CrossRef
Attribute list
Initial cross-reference format
If you do not set a cross-reference format, the element is preset to whatever format the end
user last selected in the Cross-Reference dialog box.
The initial cross-reference format is only a suggestion for the end user. The user can
change a cross-reference to another format (using the Cross-Reference dialog box), and
the change is not regarded as a format rule override. If the user re-imports element
definitions with "Remove Format Rule Overrides" on, the cross-reference does not return to
the format suggested by the EDD.
When importing markup documents, the cross-reference format may be specified through a
mapping of an attribute to the fm property cross-reference format. See "is fm property"
on page 424 for more information on this property. If this has been done, then the initial
cross-reference format rule in the EDD will be ignored. If no attribute in the markup has
been mapped to the fm property cross-reference format, then the Initial cross-reference
format rule in the EDD will be applied.
Setting an equation size
FrameMaker provides three sizes for equations: small, medium, and large. The equation
size controls the font size of expressions in the equation, the size of the integral and sigma
