Cascading Style Sheet
The cascading style sheet (CSS) in HTML
can help achieve both consistency and flexibility in the HTML output.
However, a prerequisite for the CSS is that the source FrameMaker material
was consistent in its use of paragraph formats.
The CSS centralizes definitions for the
display and layout. Flexibility is obtained by making some definitions
less specific, such as a font-family like serif or sans-serif,
which makes more allowances for what the fonts the reader has available.
In our case, the Mif2Go product does an
efficient job of exporting the FM formats into the CSS and can change
the formats as it converts.
