Help tips for structured Framemaker?

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Theresa,

There should be information in either the Structured Application Developers
Guide or the Structured Application Developers Reference. HOWEVER, because
you are first starting out, I would shy away from applying formatting via
the EDD. Instead, just specify the paragraph format you want for each of
your elements. Since you probably already have an unstructured template,
this makes it easier to have the new structured template use the formats you
are familiar with.

Thanks to all for the pointers to building my own EDD using the manual
"Developing Structured Applications" (Structure_Dev_Guide.pdf) from Adobe.

Where can I go and find out more about what the structured
elements/attributes mean?

I've had no success with Adobe.com or the Framemaker 12 help pdf.

Specifically at the moment, I'm trying to find out how Frame decides when
and how to apply "FirstIndentRelative" i.e. relative to what? In following
the instructions, it seems to me all I did was input a value for a Paragraph
Indent, but I have not told Frame any rules about WHEN to apply this
command.

For those who don't have this exercise fresh in their memory ;-) there has
been an Indent (0.3") added in all contexts to the Section element. 
The Title element has a (-0.3") FirstIndentRelative.

Is there some place where exists a list of elements & attributes which
discusses what each means?

Thanks,
Theresa
