6.9.4.2 Configuring icons for drop-down links

When DropLinkType=Icon, each drop-down link starts with an icon. If you provide text content for the link paragraph or character span, the text follows the icon.

Mif2Go can provide a default icon pair: 

Icon	Icon graphic file	Alternate text
	dropopen.gif	Click to open.
	dropclose.gif	Click to close.

To have Mif2Go write these default icon files to the project folder:

[DropDowns]

; WriteDropIconFiles = No (default) or Yes (write to output directory)

WriteDropIconFiles = Yes

When WriteDropIconFiles=Yes, Mif2Go creates default drop-down icons in the project folder. When WriteDropIconFiles=No, you must provide the icon files. If you want the icons in a folder other than the project folder, perhaps with other graphics, you must place the icon files there yourself, and specify a relative path to their location.

To rename or relocate drop-down icon files:

[DropDowns]

DropOpenIconFile = path/to/dropopen.gif

DropCloseIconFile = path/to/dropclose.gif

The default location is the project folder. If you specify a relative path, it is relative to the project folder. Do not use an absolute path.

To specify different alt text for the icons:

[DropDowns]

DropOpenIconAlt = Click to open.

DropCloseIconAlt = Click to close.

To change the macro code that displays icons, see §6.9.4.5 Modifying code for drop-down links.
