For a custom property, you can create a descriptive name, and then assign default values, metatag names, and output formats.
5.2.3 Adding Text Elements
Text elements allow the user to insert strings into the output. Each text element is defined as a name-value pair with an optional output format that will be used to
format the text.
If an output format is not specified, the text will be inserted into the output as-is, with no additonal markup.
5.2.4 Adding Navigation Elements
Navigation elements allow you to have navigation links generated in the output. There are three kinds of navigation elements:
■
Document Navigation - This allows you to link to various items in the source
document based on the documents structure. A common example of how one would use this type of navigation is to create links to all the paragraphs marked
with outline level 1 such as Heading 1 paragraphs in the document. Before using this form of navigation, link mapping rules must first be added. Link
mapping rules establish which parts of the input document will be used to create links.
■
Page Navigation - This provides a way to link to certain key pages in the output
first page, next page, etc. It also provides a way to link to external pages.
■
Section Navigation - This provides navigation for multi-section documents, such
as spreadsheets and presentations. Once you have added one of these, the left hand side of the editor displays expanded
levels. You can specify information about the link, link set markup and formatting, and create link mapping rules. Link mapping rules allow you to match on a paragraph
outline level or paragraph style name in order to generate navigation based on these two aspects of the source document. Once you define rules, click back on the Link
Mapping Rules page to determine the sequence of the rules. The mapping rules are ordered so that the first rule that matches is the one that is applied.
5.2.5 Configuring HTML Settings
There are six major categories that you can configure:
■
HTML Settings - Allows you to set the HTML DOCTYPE and Language string.
■
CSS options - Allows you to specify whether Cascading Style Sheet CSS
formatting will be used, and if so, the method of CSS presentation. By default, the CSS is embedded in the HTML of each output file. You may also choose to output
CSS styles in a separate file. The external stylesheet option allows you to specify a stylesheet with user-generated styles that will be referenced by the conversion.
■
Character set - Allows you to specify which character set should be used in the
output file. Source documents that contain characters from many character sets will look best only when this option is set to Unicode or UTF-8. You may also

select a character to be used when a character cannot be found in the output character set unmappable.
■
Graphics output - Allows you to specify the format of the graphics produced by
the technology: GIF, JPG, PNG, or none. Other options in this section allow you to specify quality and sizing of the graphic output.
■
Link options - This option allows you to specify how the browser should select
which frame or window in which to open source document links. This value is used for the target attribute of the links the technology generates. This target value
will be applied to all such links encountered in the source document.
■
Output formatting - This option causes the technology to write new blank lines to
the output strictly to make the generated HTML more readable and visually appealing. While setting this option will make it easier to read the generated
markup in a text editor, it does not affect the browsers rendering of the document. You can also include information about source document style names and how
they are mapped, and the user can see what format has been mapped to a particular paragraph or text sequence by mousing over it.
