17.7.1 Using custom markers for extract processing

You can use custom marker types to supply most extract-file properties. Table 17-7 lists the predefined marker types for extracts.

Table 17-7 Predefined marker types for extracts

Marker type	Purpose	Content use	Placement	Ref.
ExtrBottom	Insert HTML code	Last item in extract <body>	Anywhere in the extract*	17.5.1
ExtrDisable	Turn off extract processing	Ignored	After all or a group of extracts	17.3.1
ExtrEnable	Turn on extract processing	Ignored	Before all or a group of extracts	17.3.1
ExtrEnd	End an extract;	Ignored	After end of last paragraph in extract, and before end of following paragraph	17.3.2
ExtrFinish	Mark last part of extract	Ignored	In the last paragraph of the extract	17.3.2
ExtrHead	Insert HTML code	Placed in extract <head>	Anywhere in the extract*	17.5.1
ExtrReplace	Insert HTML code	Replaces extract in parent file	Anywhere in the extract*	17.7.3
ExtrStart	Begins extract	Ignored	In the first paragraph of the extract; can be used in [Extr*] sections	17.3.2, 17.5.3
ExtrTop	Insert HTML code	First item in extract <body>	Anywhere in the extract*	17.5.1
* To avoid maintenance headaches, pick a consistent location, such as at the start of the first paragraph.

You can also use any of the Extr* marker-type names listed in Table 17-7 as properties of other markers; see §28 Working with FrameMaker markers for more information.

Mif2Go processes every marker that has the same name as an [HtmlStyles]Extr* property the same way as that property. Properties assigned via markers take precedence over the same properties assigned via formats; see §17.5.1 Choosing how to insert code in extracts.
