FrameMaker Technical Paper Template

10 Conversion of papers to WWW

Papers prepared with FrameMaker and conform to this template may be saved as HTML using FrameMaker itself. The configuration for the conversion specifies the addition of the following information to the generated pages:

  1. a set of context links at the top of every page, to indicate the global context of the document, followed by
  2. a navigation panel, to be able to traverse the document back and forth, followed by
  3. the main (first page) title of the document (on every page except the first).
  4. A signature at the bottom of the page that specifies last modification date and the name of the webmaster linked to an appropriate URL.

From these, you will need to adjust 1, 3 and 4 for each document that you convert. This is done by editing the Systems Macros table on the HTML reference pages.

A new web page is created at each new chapter. If you wish to turn this off and produce only one page you will need to change the HTML reference pages to edit the mappings for all level 1 headings, and to remove the nevigation panel for the first page.

After conversion you should replace the generated cascading style sheet file (.css) with the minimal one provided with this template. This addresses the problem of converting symbol font characters to HTML.
