Option

Description

SplitText

Use this option to specify the number of characters to output as a separate text label. If you set this set option to -1 (the default), each word is output as a separate word. If you set this option to zero (0), the system will not split the text.

Splitting the text on every character produces a better fidelity HTML file, but slows the performance of the utility and of the browser. The default value seems to produce good results. If you plan to later edit the HTML file, set this value to zero (0) so all the text is output together without positioning commands.

Field

Enter No if you want to omit this kind of objects from the HTML file. The default is Yes.

Text

Enter No if you want to omit this kind of objects from the HTML file. The default is Yes.

TextMerge

Enter No if you want to omit this kind of objects from the HTML file. The default is Yes.

Box

Enter No if you want to omit this kind of objects from the HTML file. The default is Yes.

Barcode

Enter No if you want to omit this kind of objects from the HTML file. The default is Yes.

Bitmap

Enter No if you want to omit this kind of objects from the HTML file. The default is Yes.

ImagePath

Use this option to specify the location of the graphics files. Use a relative path, such as /images/, so the reference to the logo will be output in the HTML file with the attribute

SRC=”images/GRAPH1BB.jpg”

Be sure to use this option if you keep the graphics in a separate directory on the web server.

ImageExt

Use this option to specify the extension to use for references to graphic files. The default is JPG. You will need to set this option to the correct value, if your bitmaps are converted into some other file format, such as GIF, PNG, or TIFF.

Table

Use this option to specify if the dynamic HTML absolute positioning should be used for the text. The default is No.

When HTML tables are used for text positioning, the FAP lines and boxes are not output and the fidelity of the output document is low.

Set this option to Yes to edit the HTML text after the conversion.

FieldFontFudge

Use this option to increase or decrease the font size for the input fields. The default is 0.535.

This option is necessary because browsers usually use fonts larger than the input fields, so the top or bottom of the text inside the input field is chopped off. When you use this option, the font size inside the input field is the font height times this value.

DirLinks

Use this option to add Next and Prev links on pages. The default is No.

CollapsePage

Use this option to eliminate white space between HTML pages. The default is No.

PageBreaks

Use this option to force a page break between pages during HTML print. The default is Yes.

HR

Use this option to display a line between HTML pages. You can configure the size, color and width. Here is an example:

HR = Size=2 Width=100% Color=Black

AllowInput

Set this option to Yes to enable variable fields for entry. The default is No.
