Terms used

Terms used in this manual include the following:

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 Element Definition Document (EDD) is used by FrameMaker+SGML to define the elements and their contents; hence, the EDD governs the organization of documents by allowing only certain combinations of elements.
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.
