    Views: The user can not define.
    Printing: Normal File..Print action.
    Description: A structure editor with all the publishing capabilities of FrameMaker. The main window is a formatted text window, structure window shows a tree of a document. Elements are picked up from an element window. The element boundaries can be visible in the main window as square brackets. The tree reprasentation of the document shows only a few characters of the text belonging to the element. The document can be written in any order, missing elements or elements in wrong places are shown in the tree representation. An element with its subtree can be hidden or expanded in the structure window. The main window shows allways all of the text.

    The structure definitions are written in the same way as other structured documents. The structure definition is started by choosing Structure..New EDD from the menus. The program then guides the writing. The structure definition is called in FrameBuilder element definition document (EDD), and it has also the Frame style names used for formatting the elements. The styles are defined in the same way as in FrameMaker. It is possible to import a new EDD to a document, but the process is not able to correct the old documents to obey the new definition. It is mainly used to introduce new elements.

    Unstructured documents can be structured by defining a table for the conversion of styles to elements. The tool can be used by end users having no experience in programming.

    Description: A set of programs which make a text retrieval system for structured texts. With the Maestro component the structure and queries are generated, the XGML parser checks the document instances, and the Ful/Text is used for indexing. The system has a SQL-based query language that has an extended SELECT sentence. The sentence contains IN anf OF operators to express constraints concerning parents or children of an element. The query will produce links to valid elements. For example, SmithList will get as an answer a set of links to documents whose author is Smith: 
           SmithList gets document where ('Smith' in Author)
