Sorry if this is a duplicate, I couldn't make the margin icon
keyword work. (Aside: How do you do a DIR/KEY when the keyword
is 2 words and has a linefeed in it?)
Thanks for any advice. This is urgent.

Problem:
A <definition_list> doesn't work in the bookreader, it does
work for hardcopy. The problem isn't obvious to me or a couple
others that have tried to help.
Error:
Cannot open included file:<CR>
DISK$DECDESIGN_2:[CRIMMIN.UTOX]5325_ICON_FIG_A_TWICE.SDML
-RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error
%TAG-W-ERROPEINC, tag <INCLUDE>, line 108, file<CR>
5325_CHAP2.SDML<CR>
Cannot open included file:<CR>

-RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error
%TAG-W-ERROPEINC, tag <INCLUDE>, line 120, file<CR>
5325_CHAP2.SDML<CR>
Note that the error is different (^P) for the second error (and all
subsequent errors).
Source code:
Inside chap2 (abbreviated):
<definition_list>
<include>(<reference>(ART_WORK)5325_ICON_FIG_A_TWICE.SDML)
<deflist_item>(Partition icon -- An open file folder)
<deflist_def>
Indicates an expanded partition.
When highlighted, this icon indicates that another user
made a change that affects the partition or its contents.
Note that the art_work symbol is defined as
DISK$DECDESIGN_2:[CRIMMIN.UTOX]. The same symbol is used for all
figures files, and it works for them.
Inside the include file (5325_ICON_FIG_B_TWICE.SDML):
<comment>(This file was generated by UTOX 3.0-1)
<CONDITION>(BOOKREADER)
<margin_icon>(bookreader\<REFERENCE>(ART_WORK)5325_ICON_FIG_B_TWICE.fse\1.2)

This problem was first noted in the CLOSET::DOCUMENT notes conference,
note 2885.
The ^P has the same effect as a <CR> and the system sure does have a
problem digesting it when it's in the middle of a filespec. (The first
problem in your .LIS file actually has the ^P at the end of the
filespec.)
The problem has been fixed and will be available in the next release.
As far as workarounds, I'm afraid that the only one I can think of is
to remove the <REFERENCE> tags from within the <INCLUDE> tags.

| 318.2 | another query | TOOLS::CRIMMIN | DTN 381-2015 | Thu Apr 19 1990 11:26 | 17 |
I looked at note 2885 in VAXUUM::DOCUMENT for more info, but that
is not the correct note. (I assume that VAXUUM is gets me the same
notesfile as CLOSET.)
Anyway, I removed the <reference> tag from the source and replaced
it w/ a hardcoded directory spec. The result was a runaway argument
during TEX processing (but no prob w/ the source files indicated). In
the output file, there are no margin icons; instead, my filespecs are
displayed.
Questions:
Are the margin icons disallowed in the bookreader?
Are the dirspecs (even hardcoded) disallowed in deflists?

Peter,
I've done some testing using the examples you provided in your
previous note. The problem you're having has been fixed, as noted in
note 2885 of the CLOSET::DOCUMENT conference. (Note that CLOSET:: is
the correct node for that conference. CLOSET:: will soon be removed
from the VAXUUM::/CLOSET:: cluster and will handle the notes
conferences standalone.) The first error message indicated that the
<INCLUDE> in your chapter .SDML file had a bad reference. The second
one was complaining about the <REFERENCE> in the included file.
To answer your two questions, yes, <MARGIN_ICON> is usable in the
ONLINE doctypes. And yes, hardcoded filespecs should work OK. At
least they worked in my test file. Could you send me a short example
of a .SDML file that failed?
By the way, the only time I was able to duplicate your error
message about the incorrect filespec, I had removed the <DEFINE_SYMBOL>
tag that defined the ART_WORK symbol. Is it possible that you had a
typo or had forgotten your definition?
