[Framers] Formatting source code snippets

[Reng Winfried]

Hi Peter,

When I have to document our API like software, I have several tab stops 
set in the paragraph designer.
Then I just enter as many tabs in the text to have the wanted indentation. 
This way I can more easily copy and paste code samples.
Yes, and I also have a monospaced font (Courier, but e.g. Microsoft 
Consolas is equally good).

That's just my approach. Others might have better procedures.

Best regards

Winfried

Subject: [Framers] Formatting source code snippets

Hi everyone,

I have seen variations of this topic in the archives dating from 2007. I was wondering what strategies FrameMaker 2019 users employ to reproduce code snippets in API reference guides and the like. I used to format each indentation with a different style and also used to just copy and paste into a monotype style to preserve the formatting without having to re-create it in Frame. Any suggestions or better work methods are much appreciated.

Best,
Peter
