17.3.2.2 Creating special paragraph formats to delimit extracts

You can create special paragraph formats to mark the boundaries of extracts, as follows:

1. Create two new FrameMaker paragraph formats; for example, ExStart and ExEnd.

2. Put an ExStart paragraph just before material to be extracted.

3. Put an ExEnd paragraph just after material to be extracted.

4. Make the ExStart and ExEnd paragraphs conditional for on-line use, so they do not appear in your regular print files.

5. Assign the following properties to these special paragraph formats:

[HtmlStyles]

ExStart=ExtrStart Delete

ExEnd=ExtrEnd Delete

The Delete property excludes the ExStart and ExEnd paragraphs from text in the HTML file. In effect, these special paragraphs serve only as directives to Mif2Go. If you omit the ExEnd paragraph, the extract ends at the next split point, or at the end of the file.

Note:

For these settings to take effect, you must enable extracts; see §17.3.1 Enabling and disabling extract processing.
