Building table structure from paragraph format tags
When FrameMaker adds structure to tables, it normally wraps all instances of a table part
in the same kind of element and uses a default name for the element, such as CELL, ROW,
HEADING, or BODY. You can override the default name by providing a different element tag
in the second column of the conversion table.
If you want to have more than one kind of element for a particular table part, you can build
the structure up from the format tags used in the cells or titles. This allows you to distinguish
between different formatting used in different instances of a single table part. For example,
a table may have a few special body rows with italicized text that marks divisions in the
table. Or a table may have two titles, one of them a subtitle in a different font size.
To build table structure from paragraph format tags, for each cell or title rule use the TC:
or TT: type identifier followed by the P: identifier and a format tag in the first column of the
table. For example:
Wrap this object
TC: P:DividerCell
TC: P:BodyCell
TR:DividerCell+
TR:BodyCell+
TB:Row+
In the example above, the rules map cells that use a DividerCell paragraph format in
an element called DividerCell and map cells that use a BodyCell paragraph format in
an element called BodyCell. Then they wrap both kinds of cell elements in the same
default ROW element and continue the wrapping normally.
Testing and correcting a conversion table
You should test and correct a conversion table as you develop it. To do this, prepare a
sample document that represents the type of documents the table will apply to, and use the
conversion table to add structure to the sample. Make sure your sample document has all
of the document objects that the final documents may contain.
When a structure command reads a conversion table, it identifies any syntax errors in the
rules and displays the errors in a log file. Correct the table and test it again until no more
errors are found.
