19.5.2.1 Understanding how Mif2Go treats hypertext links

Mif2Go converts most FrameMaker hypertext links into HTML links. Many kinds of hypertext markers are available:

• Hypertext jumps use gotolink, openlink, or one of their cousins (such as gotolinkfitwin) to link to a matching newlink marker. The :firstpage and :lastpage forms are converted into simple links to the beginning of the file named.

• Message URL markers are passed through untouched as normal <a href="..."> links. Use these for links to external Web sites, mailto: links, and so forth.

• Markers of the gotopage type cause a jump to the start of what was the first paragraph on the specified page, even if the file has been split.

• Markers for previouspage, nextpage, previouslink, opennew, popup (menu), matrix, quit, quitall, and exit are always ignored.

• Alert boxes are used only for MS HTML Help, where they provide simple pop-ups. They are not effective in generic HTML.
