justification in structured FrameMaker

[Lester C. Smalley]

Cindy -

How is your EDD setup for the Ref element and its sub-elements?  Are
they defined as paragraphs or text ranges?  Do you have inherited
formatting, or do you specify defined paragraph and/or character styles?


Because formatting is the realm of the EDD, it is more far more
important to know its content than the XML structure to be able to
answer this question.

| 
|  <ref id="R2">
|    <citation citation-type="journal" xlink:type="simple">
|      <person-group person-group-type="author">
|        <name name-style="western">

|          <given-names>Mark J.P.</given-names>
|        </name>
|      </person-group>
|      <year>2008</year>
|      <article-title>The Beta Continuum</article-title>
|      <source>Journal of Portfolio Management</source>
|      <volume>34</volume>
|      <issue>2</issue>
|      <month>Winter</month>
|      <fpage>53</fpage>
|      <lpage>64</lpage>
|    </citation>
|  </ref>
| 
| The problem is that we need the reference to be fully justified in
| print; however, FrameMaker seems to only want to full justify within
| each individual tag (so the text inside <article-title> would be
| justified, and the text inside <source> would be justified, but if
| those two text elements happened to occur on the same line together,
| the justification would not be equally spaced across them). 
| 
| Is there a way of applying full justification for everything inside
|  <ref>...</ref>?
| 
| Thanks for any help -
