Mapping character tags

FrameMaker character tags are mapped to WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition 7.0 character styles. This lets you preserve character-level formatting, such as words that are in boldface or italics. If you used overrides to create highlighting, WebWorks Publisher usually includes that highlighting in your output as well.

In general, map your styles to Default, which will preserve the bolding, italics, and so on, created by the character styles used in your FrameMaker files. If you've created a character style in FrameMaker for highlighting URLs, map that style to WebJump. Overrides in your files are represented by +Override; map the +Override format to Default.

Here's how to map your character tags:

  1. Click the FrameMaker and Generated Files folder. (If you want to set a custom mapping for a single file, click that file instead.)
  2. Select Project > Properties, or right-click and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
  3. The Properties window is displayed. By default, the mappings for paragraph tags are shown.

  4. Click the Character subtab at the bottom of the window to display the character tag mappings.


  5. The list on the left shows the character tags and formatting overrides in your FrameMaker files.

    Note: Only character tags and overrides that are actually used are shown. Character tags that are in the character catalog but are not used do not appear here.

    The list on the right shows the WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition 7.0 character styles.

  6. To change a mapping, click the FrameMaker style that you want to change. Then, select the WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition 7.0 style you want from the drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box.
  7. When you're finished, click OK to save the mappings and close the Properties window.
