Re: IEEE P1076.1 Working Group Meeting

here is some info related to using attribute vs. conditional text in
structured framemaker. Hope it is useful when we decide to work on
structured FM.

FrameMaker 10's filter by attribute, a better solution for "conditional
text" in structured documents

At first glance, filter by attribute may appear to be similar to showing or
hiding document content with FrameMaker's conditional text control. This
new feature in structured FrameMaker 10 has several advantages over
traditional conditional text control for documents destined for translation:

    1. Multiple expressions can be saved at the same time.
    2. It does not allow the hiding of the entire document, since the root
element may not be hidden. Regular conditional text control can create an
empty content document.
    3. The smallest unit that can be hidden with filter by attribute is an
element. Regular conditional text control could be applied to any selected
text, including one character.
    4. A better level of granularity is available in terms of creating a
hide condition, because an attribute can have several values (based on its
definition). Hence, each attribute value has a separate SHOW or HIDE
possibility.

Structured FrameMaker documents are composed of elements, each of which may
have one or more attributes. Now, you can filter the visible content of a
structured FrameMaker document based on attribute values. Since other XML
applications can use the same attribute-value pair as FrameMaker 10 to
filter content, filter by attribute enables you to preserve single-sourcing
workflows across other XML applications.

When a filter is applied to the document, elements that have filter
attributes that do not meet the filter criteria are filtered out. You can
specify how the filtered out content is treated:

    as hidden,
    highlighted with a color,
    or applied with a condition tag.

filter by attribute

FrameMaker's traditional conditional text control and user variables have
the potential for
(a) maliciously affecting word order in translation and
(b) merging paragraphs of different types if a "hidden" condition tag
straddles paragraph fragments.
Since filter by attribute affects entire elements vs. text selection, this
new method in structured FrameMaker 10 for displaying or hiding text is
much less likely to created unwanted combinations of text that can
adversely affect translation.
