Hi all,
I'm translating a Framemaker document in Tageditor. It contains several tags that I do not recognise and so I do not know where to place them in the target text (e.g. a line break will not necessarily be in the same place in the source and target, but a formatting tag has to go around the same words).
Some examples:
<t-4>
<t$>
<V>
<$>
<z14>

Can anyone recommend perhaps a site which lists such frame maker tags?
Thanks.

| Use the help file to S-Tagger | Aug 23, 2010 |
You will find a very detailed description of all tags there.
If you wish to insert > in forum you have to use entitiies:
> is & gt ;
< is & lt ;
without spaces obviously

Oops, wasn't thinking re: the tags! Have fixed it.
I've located S-tagger (didn't know it existed - know nothing about Framemaker!) and am installing the help file.
Thanks.

Seems Vista can't read the S-tagger helpfile, and the patch i've just downloaded doesn't solve the problem.
So i'm still without a tag list - can anyone possibly provide one?!

| S-Tagger is part of Trados | Aug 23, 2010 |
In Trados program group, subgroup Filters.
Simply start the prgram there and use the help.
It contains a fully detailed list of S-Tags.
t-4 for instance is most probably spacing.
But I do not know the tags by hard, so I would need to look myself

| A list of tags | Aug 23, 2010 |
Except for the "v", which is a variable (a text that will be inserted in the place of the tag and which you normally translate in a file called Ancillary), the rest are a bit obscure.
You can see a list of tags here.

I had already come across that page, but I couldn't find any of these tags (the dollar sign, the t-4...).
If all else fails, I will just keep them in the same place in the target text, but for personal development ;o) I would like to know what they mean!

Hi,
maybe you might want to have a look at http://files.quark.com/download/documentation/QuarkXPress/8/English/Guide_to_XPress_Tags_8_US.pdf . The tags you mention seem to be QuarkXPress Tags rather than FrameMaker tags.
