charsubset use

[ebheadrick]

I am relearning FOSI.... so sorry if this is a basic question. I am trying to clean up a FOSI that I have inherited.

I think I should be able to create:

<charsubset charsubsetid="xxx">

<att>

[ebheadrick]

I guess I hit the wrong key way too many times...

<charsubset charsubsetid="xxx">

<att> <fillval ....=">

<charsubset> <reset ...="> ...

<att> <specval ...=">

</charsubset>

What I am trying to do is condense a group of attributes that appear on several tags into one place instead of multiple places in the FOSI. I know there must be a way to do this, but I don't think I am remembering the correct way.

Thanks for any help.

Well of course this doesn't work <att> isn't in the data model for charsubset! (it took me a while to find the DTD)

I guess an entity would be one way to go. I need to get those cobwebs out of my FOSI memory.

Sorry to bug you.

Hi Ellen,
We do use entities defined in our FOSI to reduce code used over and over
again. Here's one example:

<specval attname="format-type.txt" attloc="#FOSI" attval="a4">
<charsubset>
<textbrk startpg="recto" pageid="a4bodypage" newpgmdl="global" startln="1"&lt;br"/>endln="1">
</charsubset>
</att>
<att>
<specval attname="format-type.txt" attloc="#FOSI" attval="#NONE">
<charsubset>
<textbrk startpg="recto" pageid="a4bodypage" newpgmdl="global" startln="1"&lt;br"/>endln="1">
</charsubset>
</att>
<att>
<specval attname="format-type.txt" attloc="#FOSI" attval="us">
<charsubset>
<textbrk startpg="recto" pageid="usbodypage" newpgmdl="global" startln="1"&lt;br"/>endln="1">
</charsubset>
</att>'>

This code starts a new A4 page UNLESS an element <us_letter> is present at
the top of the document (that code not shown here ... it's just a simple
e-i-c ... also not shown is that format-type.txt is initialized to "a4").

&bodypage; is included in every e-i-c that starts a new page.

Ellen,

Define your style sets as the first things in your <styldesc> section of
your FOSI. Give each one an charsubsetid as such as "sanserif8.csub"
below (I copied this from a military FOSI):

<charsubset charsubsetid="sanserif8.csub">

<quadding inherit="0" quad="left" lastquad="relative">
<presp minimum="3pt" nominal="10pt" maximum="12pt" priority="med">
<postsp minimum="3pt" nominal="10pt" maximum="18pt" condit="keep"&lt;br"/>priority="med">
</charsubset>

Then use the style sets in your fosi e-i-c's by referring to the style
set created:

<e-i-c gi="authnot" context="idinfo" occur="all">
<charlist inherit="0" charsubsetref="sanserif8.csub">
<suppress sup="1">
</charlist>
</e-i-c>

or use it with additional formatting as shown below (explicit formatting
will override that in the charsubsetref):

<usetext source="cogact.tdv[BO]">
<subchars charsubsetref="sanserif8.csub">
<quadding inherit="0" quad="center">
<textbrk startln="1" endln="1">
</subchars>
</usetext>
<usetext source="copyright.tdv[BO]">
<subchars charsubsetref="sanserif8.csub">
<quadding inherit="0" quad="center">
<textbrk startln="1" endln="1">
</subchars>
</usetext>
<usetext source="authnot.tdv[BO]">
<subchars charsubsetref="sanserif8.csub">
<quadding inherit="0" quad="center">
<textbrk startln="1" endln="1">
</subchars>
</usetext>

Does this begin to tickle your memory?

Yes I think I will go with the entity route seems the best solution for what I want to do.

Thanks,
