12.1.3 Preparing a document for conversion to HTML or XML

To successfully convert a FrameMaker document to HTML or XML, observe the following guidelines:

• Use a conversion template that removes page numbers from cross references; see §2.4 Importing formats from a conversion template.

• Avoid using tabs; a FrameMaker tab converts to a space in HTML.

• Avoid rotated cells in tables.

• Use referenced graphics rather than embedded graphics where possible.

• Provide versions of graphics in JPEG, GIF, or PNG format; see §4.10 Processing graphics for more information.

• If you are converting a structured document, use distinct formats for distinct presentation effects; see §12.9 Converting structured documents to HTML.
