Variables FM renamed and duplicated after save in XML format

Hello again,

I am also a problem where formal economy docs as XML results in the duplication of work and renaming of variables.  For example, in a given document, I have the name of the web service inserted as variable 4 times throughout the piece. Once I recorded in XML format, the variable is renamed fmvar1, fmvar2, fmvar3 and fmvar4.  Then, when I open the doc once again, instead of having 1 variable in 4 places, I now have 4 variables on 4 sites.

Is that what I should wait, because there is no way to tell the XML doc (or FM transmit this information) it's the same variable, used in 4 places?

Kind regards

Hannah

Hannah,

You don't mention the name of your variable to FrameMaker. I suspect that it contains a space or other special character that is not allowed in an XML name.

FrameMaker writes XML variables as entity references General. If a variable name is a valid from MXL, default name, it uses the name of the variable in the name of the entity. Several references to such an entity can occur. If not, he names the variable fmvar # where # is an integer. In this case, you are right that it generates a different entity for each occurrence of the variable. I also find this proliferation of general entities to be a bug.

You can change the default behavior with a rule of read/write in the form:

"twowords" entity is variable fm "two words";

In your case, so you have at least 3 choices:

1) live with multiple entities

(2) rename the variable to something that can be used as a name of entity

(3) add a rule r/w for each variable in any document that causes this problem
