19.2.1 Understanding trails of links

A trail of links, often called a "breadcrumb trail", typically looks something like this:

Home & Garden > Kitchen > Small appliances > Coffee makers

The trail does not necessarily consist of links someone followed to reach a given page; instead, it represents the hierarchical position of the page in the structure of the HTML document.

Each heading in your FrameMaker document that has subheadings can be used as a link in a trail leading to successively lower subheadings. For each trail of links Mif2Go inserts the current value of predefined macro <$_trail>, which consists of the following:

Starting HTML code for the trail

Text of each item in the trail (content of the heading in question)

Separator code between items in the trail

Ending code for the trail.
