uEdit text attribute features

[JasonC]

So we finally got some testing done, and a workable uEdit environment
up and running.

I have been tasked with getting a sample job up there for internal
test orders. Well, the first problem I come to is that this job is
heavy on text attributes - paragraph spacing, specific line spacing
(not auto), bullets, BOLD, italic, super and subscripts and
underlines. It seems that this is a very big problem as most of these
attributes do not appear to be supported by uEdit/xlim.

I have read some here on the group about methods of getting underlines
available to a user - a different font with an underline mark in the
glyph, and that is not an acceptable method for our customers. Plus,
there are other features required, but lacking, for what is a pretty
simple document.

Are there any plans to expand the features of uEdit in this direction
at all?

To clarify, its actually less a problem with uEdit and a problem with XLIM which is the composition format. Gal often lurks on this list (inventor of xlim), so perhaps he will chime in here.

Cheers, Tim

Hi Jason, we have the same problems as you describe, also leading

is a request. We have a uedit site that allows the user to manage his

direct mail documents and we have differences in the view of uedit and

the preview pdf...

so anyone that uses uedit and therefore also the xlim format..

let xmpie know as a community that we would like more resources

available on the development of the xlim format :-) , 

Grtz

btw. there are other paths also that we have taken and seem workable.

i have used the yahoo toolkits html editor and written a conversion to

tagged indesign text files which you can than load as a text file ador in

your xmpie connected indesign document.

The other possible way is to look at idml editors that are wysiwyg

We have tried several and the only thing is that most are missing the 

backend integration with software like xmpie...

anyway...there are other roads you can travel:-)

Read. understood :)

Jason - out of the list you gave only Underline is currently
unsupported by XLIM. it's actually uEdit which is falling behind.
There's a bit of a double-reason-usage for XLIM, being a high speed
format + an online edit format...and that's where the difference is
coming from.

I agree with Walter here that IDML is probably a good path, had it
been properly supported in XMPie. (for the very least - plan
connection and adding variables). I know that next version of PE is
going to improve on that.
Future-wise speaking i think that uEdit/XLIM will always be a barrier
- there will always be more InDesign features that particular
customers will want and uEdit/XLIM won't have. While the Speed aspect
of XLIM has fallback in face of InDesign...the uEdit path does not. As
such, an IDML path is probably a better choice with letting *someone*
writing an IDML editor. but that's future...

in any case, requests are being written, and a uEdit implementation
considered.

Cheers,
Gal.
