Re: Conversion table problem

["Lynne A. Price" <lprice@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,
  It appears you have encountered a bug in structuring documents. The bug
exists in FM+SGML 6.0 as well as FM 7.0. I created an unstructured document 
consisting of three paragraphs, each with 5 words:

   one TWO three FOUR five
   one TWO three FOUR five
   one TWO three FOUR five

The uppercase words are tagged with character format "characterFormat" which
forces uppercase.

  I then used the following conversion table to add structure:

   Wrap this object or objects   In this element   With this qualifier
       Textrange                    Wrapper	
       C:characterFormat            Textrange	
       P:                           Text

  The resulting structure was:

    (NoName)
       |--(Text)
             |............one 
             |--(Wrapper)
                    |--(Textrange).......two
             |............three
             |--(Wrapper)
                   |--(Textrange).......four
             |............five
       |--(Text)
             |............one 
             |--(Textrange).......two
             |............three
             |--(Wrapper)
                   |--(Textrange).......four
             |............five
        |--(Text)
             |............one 
             |--(Textrange).......two
             |............three
             |--(Wrapper)
                   |--(Textrange).......four
             |............five


As shown, the first paragraph is treated correctly: both words with
the character format are wrapped in a Textrange which in turn is wrapped
in a Wrapper. However, the first tagged text in the following paragraphs
is wrapped only in Textrange.
