You can add typographic elements in addition to the element to which a FrameMaker character format is mapped.
To include typographic elements in DITA XML output:
; UseTypographicElements = No (XML default, suppress b, i, u, tt, sub,
; and sup even when specified in a format) or Yes (HTML default)
When UseTypographicElements=Yes
,
typographic elements b
, i
,
u
, tt
, sup
,
and sub
appear in DITA XML output in addition to any elements to which character
formats are mapped. If your FrameMaker document includes change bars
or overlines those are also represented as elements in DITA XML:
<chbar>
elements; to convert them instead to attributes, see §15.4.6.7 Converting FrameMaker change bars to condition attributes.
<over>
elements.
If any character formats are mapped to elements,
and your project configuration file includes a UseTypographicElements
setting, to avoid double nesting make sure you use the XML default value:
UseTypographicElements=No
.
Incorporate typographic elements sparingly, especially
if you are using <outputclass>
; see §15.4.6.6 Providing outputclass attributes for all elements. DITA
asks for semantic, not presentational, tags. It is best to let CSS handle
the presentation later.
