Theoretically it should be possible to 'translate’ the steps element into a FrameMaker table, for presentation, just like we do with the properties element. </div><div class="">It would put some heavy constraints on your content however, as each step must have exactly one cmd and one info element. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You’ll need to adapt the read/write rules and the EDD. I just did a test and it seems to work. Look at the constructs for the property element in the reference rules and EDD to see how you can set it up.
