29.2.4 Using attribute markers for HTML or XML

For HTML or XML output, Mif2Go treats any FrameMaker marker that has a name that begins with Cell, Char, Graph, Link, Meta, Para, Row, or Table as an attribute marker. For HTML (for example), Mif2Go inserts the attribute="value" pair specified by each of the attribute marker types as follows:

[spacer]

CellAttr

In the <td> or <th> tag for the enclosing table cell.

CharAttr

In the tag for the current or next inline element.

GraphAttr

In the next <img> tag.

LinkAttr

In the next link (<a href=...>) tag.

MetaType

In a <meta> tag; produces a new element, <meta name="Type" content="content">, in the <head> element.

ParaAttr

In the tag for the current block element.

RowAttr

In the <tr> tag for the current table row; best practice is to place the marker in the first cell in the row.

TableAttr

In the <table> tag, in the enclosing table; if not positioned in a table, applies to the next table in the same flow.

Table 29-2 lists the elements to which each attribute marker can apply for each output type.
