> 33 Overriding configuration settings > 33.2 Overriding settings with markers or macros > 33.2.8 Overriding fixed-key configuration settings
An override to a fixed-key configuration setting
stays in effect until the end of the current FrameMaker file, or until changed again by another configuration
marker or configuration-variable assignment to the
same setting. You can override some (but not all) settings in the configuration
sections listed in Table 33
Only persistent overrides work for fixed-key
settings; temporary overrides do not work. Also, persistent overrides
work only for fixed-key settings that do not have to apply to an entire
FrameMaker file. For instance, it would make no sense to
try to change, in the middle of a file, the value of [Setup]ApplyTemplateFile
;
applying a conversion template is a one-time function that takes place
before Mif2Go processes the file content. Other settings such
as [WordOptions]SideHeads
affect margins, and
must apply to an entire file.
For example, suppose your document contains white text that you do not want to display in HTML output; so, in the configuration file you include the following setting:
But suppose your document also includes some
white headings, in paragraph format Head1,
that are displayed inside a black box provided in a Frame Below with
negative space. You could use macros to override the HideWhiteText
setting for these headings:
Head1=<$$[HTMLOptions]HideWhiteText=0>
Head1=<$$[HTMLOptions]HideWhiteText=1>
If you are producing HTML output, the only way
to specify attributes for <body>
is with
a configuration override. For example, placing a marker at the beginning of the second topic in a FrameMaker
file:
[Attributes]body= onload='prettyPrint()'
Then at the beginning of the fourth topic:
The effect would appear in HTML output for the second and third topics, but not the fourth. The marker affects the output file for the topic in which it is included, and continues until set otherwise.
You can also override a fixed-key setting with a configuration-variable assignment in a regular Mif2Go macro instead of in a marker. See §28.9.3 Surrounding or replacing text with code or macros.

* Some settings cannot be overridden in these sections; you might have to experiment. |
