For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm investigating single-source documentation solutions. For my project,
I'll need to output to text/Excel spreadsheet and PDF.
I'm interested in either using XML source or Framemaker source and exporting
to SGML. My information needs to include hidden fields (analogous to MS
Word's hidden text). Does Framemaker SGML support this? In the output
SGML/XML, can you include hidden text which would normally not display in
the PDF?
If there is no hidden text feature, can you use conditional tags and output
a tag in the SGML format?
Thanks,
Carol
