Mapping FrameMaker Styles to WebWorks Publisher Styles

Character styles


WebWorks Publisher character styles are mapped to both FrameMaker character styles and character style overrides. An override occurs when you don't use a character tag to apply a character style, such as applying boldface in FrameMaker by using the B button on the QuickAccess toolbar or by pressing Ctrl+B. Overrides are all grouped together as +Override at the top of the list on the Character tab. If you map +Override to Default, Publisher will generally preserve the formatting created by the overrides. Ideally, you should minimize the use of overrides in your FrameMaker source documents.

Automapping character styles

As with paragraph styles, character styles are automapped based on their name-Publisher character styles are mapped to those FrameMaker character styles whose names exactly match. In addition, Publisher will try to automap any character overrides in your FrameMaker document.

Manually mapping character styles

You can change character style mappings during the project creation process through the New Project wizard (see Creating a new project). After the project is created, you can change character mappings from the Properties dialog box.

Here's how to change character mappings:

  1. Display the Properties dialog box for the whole project or a specific file (see Viewing mappings for details).
  2. From the Mappings tab, click the Character subtab.

  1. To change a mapping, click anywhere in the row containing the style, then select the WebWorks Publisher style you want to assign from the drop-down list near the bottom of the tab. Repeat for each character style or character override you want to remap.
    Note: To delete a character mapping, click the Delete button. Characters formatted with the deleted style revert to Default. You must do this at the project level. If you try to delete a mapping in an individual file, the Delete button is grayed out, indicating that you can't delete mappings.
