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

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 ! Nigel | |||||

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.) patti | |||||
101.3 | Getting 06 tags to work with 07? | COOKIE::JOHNSTON | Fri Mar 13 1987 21:23 | 38 | |
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 | |||||
101.4 | You can define tags | ZENSNI::AMEND | Sat Mar 14 1987 09:59 | 12 | |
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. jim amend 8625::amend |
