QUESTION ABOUT A NONPRINTING CHARACTER (WAS: FM 8: Xref markers keep breaking and re-breaking)

[VLM TechSubs]

Thanks Scott. I haven’t moved any files, and this was mass breakage of the links all at once. 

Which has given me an idea. Perhaps I should just put some nonprinting character into all those empty chapter heading paragraphs, so that they no longer appear empty to FrameMaker. QUESTION: What character to use. I don’t wish to alter the spacing (centering) of these headings. I could use a thin space, the effect of which on alignment would be minimal. But is there a nonprinting character I could use, that will not affect alignment at all and that will not have any adverse effect?

Thanks to all,
Elchanan

I never used version 8. And every time my xrefs broke it was either the xref marker had been deleted during editing or the relative path had been changed.

Greetings!

 

I put xref markers in throughout a book. These markers are simple xrefs to other chapters, nothing fancy. I generate the book, all is well. After working for a while, I do another generate (sometimes with intervening generates that were fine), and all of a sudden, lots of broken xrefs. I fix them all, generate, and all is well. Several generates later, poof! A large number of broken xrefs again. 

 

Has anyone else encountered something like this? 

 

Thanks,

Elchanan
