FrameMaker 9.0 Structure Application Developer Reference - Adobe

1 Structure Application Definition
Reference 1
This chapter provides a comprehensive reference for all application properties that can be defined
in a structure application definition file.
Contents of an application definition file
The highest-level element in an structapps.fm file is StructuredSetup. That element’s
first child must be Version, to indicate the FrameMaker version. The Version element is
followed by zero or more SGMLApplication or XMLApplication elements, each of which
defines the pieces of a structure application. Finally, there can be an optional Defaults element,
which specifies information used unless overridden for a particular application.
The following table lists the main elements allowed in structapps.fm as children of the
StructuredSetup element. The table identifies the sections that discuss each of those
elements and the elements they may contain.

Define an application
FrameMaker collects all information pertaining to the set-up of a structured application into an
SGMLApplication or XMLApplication element. These elements have one required child
element and several optional child elements.
The first child of a parent SGMLApplication or XMLApplication element must be
ApplicationName and gives the name of the application. It looks like:
Application name: name
where name is a string used to identify your application in the Set Structure Application and Use
Structure Application dialog boxes. You cannot use the same name for multiple structure
applications.
