You can create special paragraph formats to mark the boundaries of extracts, as follows:
1. Invent two new paragraph formats; for example, ExStart and ExEnd.
2. Insert
an element with outputclass=ExStart
just before
material to be extracted.
3. Put an ExStart paragraph just before material to be extracted.
4. Insert
an element with outputclass=ExEnd
just after
material to be extracted.
5. Put an ExEnd paragraph just after material to be extracted.
6. Make the ExStart and ExEnd paragraphs conditional for on-line use, so they do not appear in your regular print files.
7. Assign the following properties to these special paragraph formats:
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 §18.3.1 Enabling and disabling extract processing.
