Split Into Topics Based on This Style

Create a Help topic at each occurrence of the selected MS Word paragraph style. For example, if you select Heading 1 and Pagination (Split into topics based on this style), FrameMaker starts a new topic at every instance of Heading 1.

•Paragraph

Map to HTML tag

Select or enter a user-defined HTML tag for the selected style.For example: A paragraph with style ParaStyleOne is imported in FrameMaker as:

<p class=ParaStyleOne> Paragraph Text </p>

Specifying this string as Pre for the style ParaStyleOne causes FrameMaker to import the paragraphs with the style ParaStyleOne as:

<pre> Paragraph Text </pre>

Autonumber

Specify a way to handle auto-numbering text. Available options are:

•Ignore: Choose this option if the autonumber text is relevant only in print format. The converted para­graph does not contain autonumbering. For example, suppose you ignore autonumbering for the FrameMaker paragraph format "Section2 Level." In this case, "Section 1.1: System Requirements" in the source appears as "System Requirements" in the published output.

•Convert to HTML List: Convert the autonumber to HTML lists using HTML tags such as <ol>, <ul>, and <li>.

•Convert to Text: Retain the appearance of the FrameMaker numbered lists. The autonumber part loses its sequencing properties and appears as part of the paragraph text in FrameMaker topic.

Table Properties

Caption Style

Select the Caption Style name to map to the selected table format caption. Or select [Source]. FrameMaker retains the appearance of the table caption in the online Help format. You can also select Automap for an individual table caption style.

Table Size

Specify a preferred table width and / or height (in px).

Cell Size

Preferred Column Width/Row Height

Specify a preferred column width and / or row height (in px).

Building Blocks

To build the cross reference format, place the cursor in the Output Style box and double-click on a format in the Building Blocks table.The available formats are called building blocks, because you create a custom format by using any combination of the available formats. To do this, double-click a building block to place the format in the Output Style list. You can then keep adding to the format by placing the insertion point before or after any selected building block.

Use Distiller To Generate Image

Select this option to generate web-friendly image formats from graphics linked and inserted in FrameMaker documents. You should use this option especially if you have vector graphics formats, such as EPS or AI, or graphics with text content in them.

Import Reference Page Images

Select this option to import images embedded in the reference pages of FrameMaker documents.

Preserve 3D Images

Select this option to convert the 3D graphics as a PDF file, with the 3D rendering intact within the PDF file. To ensure that the 3D image retains its rendering, enable embedding in FrameMaker.

Preferred Dimensions

Specify the dimensions for the images. Select one of the following:

•Scale: Scale images as a percentage of the existing size. The aspect ratio of the images is maintained.

•Width and Height: Specify the absolute image size as Height and Width, in points. Select Maintain Aspect Ratio to ensure that the images are not skewed.

note:    To convert the images in FrameMaker documents to the actual dimensions of the images, specify the height and width as 0pt. The <img> tag for such images in the generated HTML does not have the height and width values. This conversion is irrespective of the dimensions of the anchored frames that contained the images.

Maximum Dimensions

Set the maximum dimensions for images in online format. Images that exceed the maximum dimensions you specify are automatically scaled down to fit the maximum size you specify. If you scale the images and specify an aspect ratio, then the publishing process scales the images within the maximum dimensions specified and maintains the aspect ratio.Use this option to avoid large images causing the browser window to scroll horizontally or vertically. For example, if you specify the window size to be 800 x 600 pixels, you can specify the maximum dimensions to be 640 x 480, so that the images do not exceed the window size.

Margins

Set the margins for the images as:

•Set equal margins on all sides by setting the margin in All Sides.

•To set margins on individual sides, set the margins on each side.

Borders

Set a border for the images as:

•To set a uniform border on all sides, select All from the Border pop-up menu. Alterna­tively, you can specify the side on which you want the border to appear from the pop-up menu.

•To set the border style, select the style from the Style pop-up menu.

•To set the border color, select the color from the Color pop-up menu.

•To set the border width, select it in, in points, from the Width menu.

Advanced

Default Format

Define the image format, color depth, and quality settings for the web-supported images that are converted from the images in the FrameMaker document:

•As Is: Select this option for retaining the images in the current web-supported format.

•JPG: Select this option for multicolor images such as screenshots or photographs. JPG format with a high color depth provides the best online quality, but increases the file size. Select this option for photographs.

•PNG: Select this option for screenshots.

•BMP: Select this option only for small images such as icons and logos. BMP format images are large in size and uncompressed but rich in color and quality. Also, these images do not scale or compress well. Hence, this format is not suitable for web.

•GIF: Select this option if the FrameMaker document contains only line art, such as sche­matic diagram.

JPEG Quality

Set the quality percentage for JPG images.

Color Bit Depth

Set the color bit depth for bit map images. JPG and PNG formats can have either 8- or 24-bit color depth, while BMP images can have color bit depths of 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32. GIF images can have only 8-bit color depth.

Grayscale

Select this option if you want monochrome images.

Merge Topic Styles into Single CSS

Specifies whether a single CSS file is created for all topics or not. If you choose not to create a single CSS then the inline styles of tables and images is stored in a separate CSS file named HTMLStyling.css.
