DOCBOOK-APPS: Graphics in DocBook V3.0 and Frmamaker+SGML 6 (Win)

[Chris Turchin <chris@pelemele.com>]

Hi,

We recently purchased a version of Framemaker+SGML 6 to aid in opening
SGML docs and then converting them to Indexed PDF files using Distiller. 

I am using the DocBook3.0-exp SGML application/DTD obtained from
Cygnus.com. Right now I am just trying to generate a simple structured 
test document in Frame, save as FM, then save a copy as SGML. The FM-file
saves fine and opens fine as well. But when I save as SGML I get an error: 

ALIGN="aleft" attribute value defaulted: token not in group

The SGML for the image  looks like this:

<graphic 
	entityref = "graphic1" 
	format = "gif"
	width = "2.997in" 
	align = "aleft"
	role = "anchoredframe">
</graphic>

Of course, when the document opens, the anchored frame is centered, not
aligned left (with an identical error message on loading). Plus, although
the width value is retained, the anchored frame is opened with a depth
(height) of 9 inches, rather than the 5 inches I saved it with.

In addition, all information relating to the image size, dpi, scaling
etc. is lost. The image is opened full size, much to large for the frame.

I tried modifying the entry to retain some of this info:

<graphic
        entityref = "graphic1"
        format = "gif"
        depth = "5.000in"
	scalefit = "1"
	width = "2.997in"
        align = "aleft"
        role = "anchoredframe">
</graphic>

But, like the align attribute, this information was simply ignored. 

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get Framemaker to
recognize these other attributes? I am not particularly familiar with this
program (not at all). I understand that there must be a conversion between
the SGML Entities and their Attributes and the corresponding FM
equivalents. As I see it, I need to tell Frame how to deal with these
additional attributes. Is this simple? Could someone point me at least in
the right direction on where I could get more information on doing this or
where there is a better DTD-app for frame where this already works?

Alternately, can I use some other open-source SGML tool to
(easily) generate PDF files with Indexes and links etc. ? Any information
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
