Child element

Given an element, any element that is on the first level of the subtree (in the structure view) coming from that element is a child element to the original element.

EDD

The Extended Document Definition (EDD) is used by FrameBuilder to define the elements and their contents; hence, the EDD governs the organization of documents by allowing only certain combinations of elements.

HPTAG

The HPTAG module in FrameBuilder is the SGML export application. It takes MIF files as input and returns files conforming to SGML.

Main view

The Main view is the right pane in PinPoint's book window. This view displays the book's contents.

SGML

Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is a specification for how markup languages should be written.

Sibling element

Given an element, any element that is on the same subtree (in the structure view) and at the same level as the original element is a sibling element to the original element.

TOC view

The TOC view is the left pane in PinPoint's book window. This view displays the book's table of contents, list of figures, or list of tables.
