Re: Creating a Style Guide, The Sequel

[Peter Gold <peter -at- knowhowpro -dot- com>]

In FrameMaker, you can store documentation in the tagged ("Flow: A", 
etc.) text frames on master pages. Content of these frames does not 
appear on body pages, and does not affect their performance in any 
way. In addition, you can create cross-references from within this 
content to external files. You can follow these links with a FM 
"hyperclick" - the keystroke combination Ctrl+Alt+Click (Windows or 
unix), or Ctrl+Option+Click (Macintosh.) This approach offers brief 
documentation in the template document and a link to full 
documentation elsewhere.

You can also store information in text frames on reference frames.

Include contact information. I have recommended that the 
documentation be preceded with something like, "Please read this 
documentation before contacting me." Seriously.
