My comments are in color.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1. FOSI does support the following:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> - Right to left formatting. I have worked on FOSI stylesheets for Arabic output and CJK output. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN> - Hanging punctuation.FOSI cansupport opening hangng punctuation, such as opening quotation marks, for the first line of an element using a simple ACL function (seeFOSI -- the right tool for the jobfor examples).According to the Styler Users Guide, APP Styler's default hanging punctuation support is for hanging commas and periods at the end of a line of justified text, something that is not used in technical documentation or service information. According to the APP for Styler Users manual: "A more extensive set of hanging punctuation can be accessed through a small source edit." However, I cannot find any more information about it. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN> - Borders for page regions.The Region category can be used for this. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN> - Gutter rules between columns.The Region category can be used for this. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN> - Automatic shrinking of graphics to avoid oversets. The Putgraph category can be used for this. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN> - Stylesheet extensiions.FOSI capabilities can be extended by calling an ACL funcction, which can call Javascript and other scripting languages. One example: hanging quotes. Another example: Downsizing formatting specs to fit a warning in a single column.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. While the following formatting is suitable for layout-based documents such as magazines and brochures, it is generally not seen in technical documentation and service information, not even in owner's manuals.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> - Rotation of main content flow permitted to any angle </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> - Pages containing main content flow permitted to have different widths </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> - Columns on a page permitted to vary in width</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> - Left blank pages permitted to vary from right blank pages (beyond what is handled with FOSI Rectobb and Versobf categories.)</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>NOTE: Not all APP capabilities are available with Styler or with Styler and APP source edits. Some APP capabilities are availableonlywith an "associated APP template" or a "native APP template." See AccessingAPPFeaturesin Help information for details.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Please let me know any questions.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Suzanne Napoleonwww.FOSIexpert.com"WYSIWYG is last-century technology!"</SPAN><BR /><BR /></BODY></HTML> Fri, 30 Jan 2015 20:26:23 GMT ptc-1908075 2015-01-30T20:26:23Z Publishing Engine Overview: Corrections https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/t5/Arbortext/Publishing-Engine-Overview-Corrections/m-p/344762#M24735 Continuing to look into Styler and APP, I noticed some inaccuracies in the documentation about what FOSI/TeX supports, as detailed below.
