SUMMARY:	Excluding shortdesc from generated FM/book files
ISSUE:	You'd like to exclude the shortdesc element from FM files generated from a map.
SOLUTION:	The easy way to do this is to add the following rule to the Book application's rules file: element "shortdesc" drop; You could also modify the XSL code to strip out this element, but modifying the rules file is much easier.
