Application definition file
You need to deliver a structapps.fm file to your end users. In some situations, you make
more than one application available to your end users at the same time. For example, your
end users may sometimes need an application based on the DocBook DTD for writing
technical documentation and may at other times need an application based on a completely
different DTD particular to your company. If so, you provide two applications in one
structapps.fm file.
The structapps.fm file provides definitions for the available applications; it can also
contain information relevant to all applications, such as a default place to look for entity files.
Important: Reinstalling FrameMaker can overwrite the current structapps.fm file
with the default version that ships with the product. Be sure your end users
understand this. To keep your site-specific structure applications file intact, they
should make a copy of this file before reinstalling, and then use the copy to overwrite
the fresh version of structapps.fm.
FrameMaker can associate a particular document with a structure application in several
ways:
•
An EDD can explicitly associate itself with a structure application. If it does, all
FrameMaker documents that use that EDD are automatically associated with the
application.
•
A structure application can name one or more document types (identified in the markup
in the doctype declaration and in the document's root element). If it does, all markup
