<br>
For FM-DITA questions you'll probably get more replies by
posting to the framemaker-dita Yahoo group.<br>
<br>
Applying coloring/formatting to paragraphs via @outputclass is
fairly easy by adding context rules to the <p> (or
whatever) element definition that check for a match of that
outputclass value and assigning the necessary paragraph tag or
style overrides.<br>
<br>
Doing the same with table cells is not so easy. While you can
specify the overall table format based on the
tgroup/@outputclass, there aren't any EDD context rules that you
can use to assign properties to specific table cells or rows.
Apparently FM11 added some new read/write rules that can assign
these properties. I'm not familiar with setting these up, but
you can read more about it in this post on the Adobe FrameMaker
forum ..<br>

<br>
BTW .. I'm in the process of developing a new feature in
DITA-FMx that will allow you to specify outputclass values for
rows and cells. This should be available in FMx 2.0 when that's
released.<br>

<div>Hi everyone</div>
<div><br>
We're going to be using FrameMaker (12) to output PDFs from
DITA. We'd like certain paragraphs and/or table cells to have a
background colour. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Our specific usecase is that we produce multi-switch config
examples. Sometimes, we find that each switch's content takes up
more than a page, and that all the switches are nearly
identical. It really helps if we can colour the content
differently, so users (and us!) can see whether they're on
switch 1, 2 or 3.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We thought maybe outputclass would let us do this, but so far
we haven't figured out how. We've found online references to
doing this with the open toolkit, and for HTML with CSS, but
nothing about Framemaker.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>Is there a way to use the outputclass attribute to style
how some elements appear in FrameMaker? If not, is there
another way to get the effect we're after?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks very much!</div>
