429.0. "Help needed in redefining <TITLE>" by BUNSUP::LITTLE (Todd Little NJCD SWS 323-4475) Thu May 28 1987 03:25

    Now that I've gone completely insane, could someone please give
    me an example of redefining the front-matter tag <TITLE> in a local
    doctype?  I get complaints with all my attempts about the tag not
    being hidden when something tries to reveal it.  I'm sure I don't
    have the proper documentation to get into this, but the release
    notes said to post these kinds of requests here.  So here it is.

429.1hide the tags after you redefine themCRAYON::GENTParty gone out of bounds -- B52&#039;sThu May 28 1987 08:4718
    Hi Todd,

    I ran into the same problem with other tags that DOCUMENT assumes
    are hidden. What you need to do is: if you redefine a tag that 
    was originally hidden, you must hide the tag as well. It doesn't
    really matter what hide-name you use (as long as it hasn't already
    been used). For example, the following code hides two tags after
    I have redefined them:
    
	<REDEFINE>(TITLE\ [ etc... ] )
    	<REDEFINE>(ORDER_NUMBER\ [ etc... ] )

	<comment>(----------- HIDE THE REDEFINED TAGS ----------------)
	<HIDE_TAGS>(_private_definitions\SDML_INFO\<EOL>
	Attempt to use hidden front matter tags out of context<EOL>
	\TITLE\ORDER_NUMBER)

    Thanks, that cleared things up once I got the gist of the context
    necessary to do what you suggested.  I had been trying to deal with
    redefining the <_doctype_front_matter_tags> and <_doctype_title_page_tags>
    tags to do what I thought was necessary.  I never did get what I
    wanted to work trying to redefine standard tags inside those tag
    definitions.  Has anyone else tried to do this?
    
    On a related topic, is there any documentation available that describes
    the process of defining one's own tags?  The old BL6 Administrator's
    Guide refers to something along the lines of a GUTENTAG User's Guide,
    but I've been unable to locate such a document.
