rules in the EDD can be used to indicate a page break in FrameMaker; there is no need
to mark the break with an element. To drop the markup element break, use this rule:
element "break" drop;
•
By default, FrameMaker stores processing instructions that it does not recognize in non-
element markers. In this way, even though FrameMaker does not perform special
processing on the processing instruction, when you save the FrameMaker document
back to markup, the software writes out the processing instruction so that a different
application can use it. If you don't need to write out the processing instructions, you could
use this rule:
processing instruction drop;
