Using fragments outside document sections?

[Hurra]

Hi!

I have a chapter which documents parts of a ResourceArchitecture (UAF) which I built with fragments. In the intro to this section I have created a general, like small metamodel, of how the parts are documented. My idea was to create a document script and use the diagramID as input. It works great, but I can't use the fragment where I want to use it.

Code: [Select]

intro text and heading
package>
element>
sub-heading
text and several fragments

<element
<package
The above works great. Now I would like to add my new fragment to show a specific diagram with the intro text, something like:

Code: [Select]

intro text and heading
Template - my document script fragment
package>
element>
sub-heading
text and several fragments

<element
<package
This ouputs the text of the fragment, with the red background.

I tried to put the fragment between package> and element>, no luck. It works within element> <element, but then I get the diagram for every part, which is not what I'm looking for.

Any pro-tips?

Thanks!

Use a virtual document and create a separate model document for your intro section.
You'll have to create a regular template that calls the fragment and assign that to your model document.

I tried to tidy up the model documents. There were like 50 model documents before, I've been trying to reduce them. But the short answer is no, you can't, create a model document..?

Yes, I think so.
Instead of trying to reduce the number of model documents we choose to automate the creation of them with a script.
This way it doesn't bother anyone that there are lots of model documents.
This approach makes template development a lot easier; we have lots of small and simple templates that are combined in a virtual document with lots of model documents.
