A.4 Element Setup Dialog

Classic HTML Conversion Editor uses elements as "handles" to format the content of source documents and associate the ranks in those documents (as well as any styles or patterns you may have create) with the HTML tags that control the appearance of web pages. The Classic HTML Conversion Editor does this automatically, so you don't need to worry about the HTML tags themselves.

When you check a source document into Content Server, you choose a template for the document and the Classic HTML Conversion Editor automatically applies ranks to the content of the document. Then it generates a corresponding element for each rank and places those elements in the template. You can create additional ranks or styles or patterns, and create elements to assign to them.

You create the look of a particular Web page by editing the template that is associated with the source document. Some of the instructions apply to the template itself, but most apply to the individual elements in the template.

Elements lists throughout the Classic HTML Conversion Editor can help you select the elements to edit. For example, an Elements list is always available in Formatting, no matter which tab dialog you're working in, and the currently selected element is always highlighted on the list.

The Element Setup Dialog consists of these tabs:

• "Elements Tab"

• "Ranks Tab"

• "Styles Tab"

• "Patterns Tab"

• "Metadata Tab"

A.4.1 Elements Tab

The Elements tab allows you to view your elements, see whether the element is in the body of the document, and to split the selected document into multiple output pages.

The Elements tab can additionally generate these dialog boxes:

A.4.8 Ranks Tab

When you check a document into Content Server, Dynamic Converter applies a default set of ranks in the template to content: Lowest 1, Title, Lowest 2, Heading 1. These ranks are designed to identify content hierarchy in source documents so that top-level content, in particular, can be handled consistently. At the same time, Dynamic Converter generates an element for each rank. The elements are saved in the template.

The following table shows a simple example of what would happen for two documents with the manually formatted styles shown:

Content	Doc A	Doc B	Rank	Element
Title	Times 20 pt Bold	Arial 16pt Bold	Title	Title
First level Heading	Times 14 pt Italic	Arial 12 pt Bold	Heading 1	Heading 1
Other Heading	Times 12 pt Underscore		Lowest 2	Default Paragraph
Caption		Times 9 pt Bold	Lowest 2	Default Paragraph
Text	Times 10 pt	Times 9 pt	Lowest 1	Default Paragraph

With ranks, Dynamic Converter doesn't recognize the complete variety of content your source documents might contain. But Dynamic Converter can recognize content that helps define the top-level hierarchy of your source documents and thus successfully format the most important content in your source documents

Note how Dynamic Converter determines which portion of content should be designated. The order of Title, Heading 1, Lowest 1, or Lowest 2 is determined by Rank Rules. You can customize these.

The Ranks tab can additionally generate these dialog boxes:

• "New Rank Dialog"

• "Rank Defaults Dialog"

• "Change Associations Dialog"

• "Rank Properties Dialog"

• "Rank Rules Dialog"

The Ranks tab allows you to change, edit, and associate your element rank.

A.4.13 Styles Tab

"Styles" in Dynamic Converter refers to named styles typically found in word processing documents. A named style is a set of formatting characteristics that are saved and given a name so that they can be applied to any paragraph in a document.

When you check a document into Content Server, Dynamic Converter applies a default set of ranks in the template to content: Lowest 1, Title, Lowest 2, Heading 1. Ranks are designed to identify content hierarchy in source documents so that top-level content, in particular, can be handled consistently. At the same time, Dynamic Converter generates an element for each rank, which are saved in the template.

You can achieve greater control over your HTML output if you're source documents contain styles. You can create a style in Element Setup and a complementary element for each style in your source document. The Classic HTML Conversion Editor will recognize these styles, and you will be able to format the elements associated with them and thus gain greater control, over the content associated with the styles.

The Styles tab can additionally have these dialogs:

• "New Style Dialog"

• "Style Properties Dialog"

• "Change Style Associations Dialog"

The Styles tab allows you to add a new style, delete styles, change properties, and change associations.

Tab	Use to find any tab character. The representation of a tab character is the result of an ANSI value insertion.

The following four text combinations can also be used:

Element
\d	Use to find any digit
\u	Use to find any uppercase character
\l	Use to find any lowercase character
\t	Use to find a tab

Another character that can be used is the caret, which represents any character but the one that follows it. For example [^ ] would represent any character except a space.

The backslash is used as an escape character. If you need to match characters that are used in the search syntax, such as the quotation marks or parentheses, place a backslash before each.

A.4.24 Metadata Tab

When you check a document into Content Server, Dynamic Converter applies a default set of ranks in the template to content: Lowest 1, Title, Lowest 2, Heading 1. These ranks are designed to identify content hierarchy in source documents so that top-level content, in particular, can be handled consistently. At the same time, Dynamic Converter generates an element for each rank. The elements are saved in the template.

With the Classic HTML Conversion Editor you have the option of creating additional ranks, styles, and/or patterns to increase your formatting options. By identifying such characteristics as typeface, font size, font effects (bold, italic, etc.), and color, the Classic HTML Conversion Editor can separate content in the document into similarly formatted groups, known as patterns.

Classic HTML Conversion Editor recognizes:

• Standard metadata: Properties automatically generated by the application that was used to create the source document.

• Custom metadata: Special properties you create in the application for the source document.

  Note:

  Not every source document has standard or custom metadata.

Metadata can be used to improve the usability of your Web site by being placed in Web pages and also the Meta tags of those Web pages, to facilitate information searches on your site.

You must make metadata element-based in order to place the metadata in your Web pages and in Meta tags. Once element-based, standard and custom metadata can be published to a content server.

Whatever metadata you plan to use must exist in, or be associated with, the source documents if Dynamic Converter is to successfully place that metadata in your Web output.

The properties (standard metadata) of a source document may not accurately describe the document. For example, if you create a new document by making a copy of an existing one, the new document may inherit the properties of the existing one.

The Metadata tab includes these dialog boxes:

• "New Metadata Dialog"

• "Change Metadata Associations Dialog"

• "Metadata Properties Dialog"

A.5.14 Formatting Lists Dialog

The Formatting Lists dialog allows you to format bulleted and numbered lists. Lists are a special kind of content consisting of a related series of items that are either numbered or bulleted. You may have to apply special formatting instructions to a template to ensure that lists display properly in a web browser.

Dynamic Converter does not apply the <LI> list tag to lists in source documents. As a result, any list in your source document can be "passed through" during translation. Tabs may be lost and bullets may appear smaller, but otherwise the list content will display satisfactorily in your web pages.

For best results in formatting lists, you should assign the list tag <LI> to list content. To do this, you must associate a unique style with lists in the source document, which is highly recommended. If you haven not done so, you can either create a new style in the source document, or create a character pattern to search for list content. You can use patterns even if your document is styled (as long as the pattern is mapped to a unique element).
