29.6 Using marker property names for marker types

To simplify marker use, you can specify any [MarkerTypes] property name as the name of a marker type, and get the same effect as assigning that property to some other marker type. If you add a custom FrameMaker marker type that has the same name as one of the properties listed in Table 29-3, the marker type takes on that property.

This is how it works: Mif2Go looks up, in [MarkerTypes], the name of each marker type that you have either:

• used in your FrameMaker document, or

• added to the right of the = in [Markers].

If you listed the name of that marker in [MarkerTypes], Mif2Go processes each property you specified for it, and treats each property as though you had added a marker that has:

• the name of the property,

• the effect of the property, and

• the content of the marker.

For example, to mark split points for HTML output (see §18.2 Splitting files), you could add a custom marker type named Split to your FrameMaker document (or list Split to the right of the = in [Markers]), and insert a Split marker wherever you want the file split. This would have the same effect as inserting some other marker to which you assign the Split property in [MarkerTypes].
