7.9.8.2 Creating drop-down hotspots with Mif2Go macros only

The following settings use three macros to handle open/close actions for dedicated drop-down paragraph format DropPara.

[HTMLParaStyles]

DropPara = CodeBefore CodeStart CodeAfter

[ParaStyleCodeBefore]

; At the start of any of the following paragraphs,

; close any open drop-down blocks:

DropPara = <$DropDownBlockClose>

; List any other paragraphs that should end a drop-down block:

H1 = <$DropDownBlockClose>

H2 = <$dropdownblockclose>

H3 = <$DropDownBlockClose>

H4 = <$DropDownBlockClose>

H5 = <$DropDownBlockClose>

[ParaStyleCodeStart]

; Before the DropPara text, insert a drop-down link:

DropPara = <$DropDownLinkOpen>

[ParaStyleCodeAfter]

DropPara = <$DropDownBlockOpen>

[Inserts]

; At end of body, close any open drop-down blocks:

Bottom = <$DropDownBlockClose>

[DropDownLinkOpen]

; Before DropPara text, set a new drop-down link:

<$$DropDownCount++>

<a class="dropdown"

href="javascript:doSection('drop<$$DropDownCount>');void 0;">

<img src="dropopen.gif" id="iodrop<$$DropDownCount>"

style="border:0;" alt="Click to open.">

<img src="dropclose.gif" id="icdrop<$$DropDownCount>"

style="display:none;border:0;" alt="Click to close.">

[DropDownBlockOpen]

; After DropPara, insert javascript to open a new drop-down block,

; and set a flag to signify that the block is open. The javascript

; includes a counter to identify the drop-down section:

<div class="dropdown" id="drop<$$DropDownCount>" style="display:none;"

onclick="noSection('drop<$$DropDownCount>')">

<$$Flag_DropDownBlockOpen = 1>

[DropDownBlockClose]

; Before DropPara or H1 through H5 or </body>,

; check a flag to see if a drop-down block is open;

; if so, close the drop-down block and clear the flag:

<$_if ($$Flag_DropDownBlockOpen)>

</div>

<$$Flag_DropDownBlockOpen = 0>

<$DropDownLinkOpen>

<$_endif>

[MacroVariables]

; Put any macro definition sections before this section.

Flag_DropDownBlockOpen = 0

DropDownCount = 0
