101.0. "Some info on local tags please" by COOKIE::JOHNSTON () Thu Mar 12 1987 19:18

Does it describe anywhere in the documentation how to define tags and
make them available for a local style?  I found information about where
to find the .GDX styles; and I've completed the Step-By-Step Design 
exercise.  But I can't find information on how to name or code local
.GDX files, or how to make them "known".

I don't want to do anything too major.  I need a style based on software 
that recognizes running feet and running heads so that I can a 
Restricted Distribution notice on every page.  And I want to create a
standard Restricted Distribution cover page with signature line.

If I'm headed in the wrong direction by looking at GDX files, let me 
know.  Or if someone out there has already tackled something similar, 
please rattle my cage.

I had some special tags defined under BL06 to handle the cases cited and 
a few others.  But someone helped me with a long time ago; I don't 
remember much of what I learned; and I'd like to have the documentation 
to refer to if there is any.


Thanx much!

Rose

101.1Another tormented soulUBEAUT::PAGEIt works for meThu Mar 12 1987 19:4810
    Please can we have more info on this. I wrote a new design for
    documenting minutes of meetings and spent several days creating
    the required tags, eventually succeeding by trial and error.
    
    In particular, could we have a list of the before and after states
    for all the special charaters. ie. ^T -> \ etc...
    
    Always lusting after details !

    The internals documentation is in the works. The first draft will
    be mainly on the tag translator, but we hope that when it's complete
    it will answer all the questions. (Note this document will not be
    given to customers. It's strictly for internal use.)

101.3Getting 06 tags to work with 07?COOKIE::JOHNSTONFri Mar 13 1987 21:2338
In the meantime, can you provide a short explanation on how to get
"old" local tags to work with a particular doctype in 07?  

For example, I defined <SEND_COMMENTS_TO> in 06:

 Who to send review comments to
<DEFINE>(send_comments_to\|
vskip4pc
centerlinenineccbfPlease send comments on this report to: 
paragraph1&)

 First argument is name ($1)
 Second argument is DTN ($2)
 Third argument is account name ($3)
<DEFINE>(name_dtn_node\|
centerlinenineccbf$1, DTN $2, $3
&)

<DEFINE>(dec_address\|
centerlinenineccbfDEC Mailstop CX01-2/N23, 301 Rockrimmon Blvd. South
centerlinenineccbfColorado Springs, CO 80919
&)


I had this tag in a file I called SPECDEFS.GDF.  People simply included this
file into their .GNC file.

I'd like to get this and the few other tags I have working as soon as possible,
as we are writing specs and (like everyone else) are facing deadlines. 
The example above is not a critical tag, but the Restricted Distribution tags I
have are critical.

In this case, I don't even mind a dirty fix.  


Thanx,

Rose
101.4You can define tagsZENSNI::AMENDSat Mar 14 1987 09:5912
    The thing that is wrong with you template is that TEX doesn't 
    understant nineccf.  The template works if you take out the
    reference to ^tnineccf.  All of the font names have been changed.
    You need to look in a new file and get the name.
    
    The running footer for company confidential just use
    <running_feet>(Company Confidential) and use software.spec.
