29.4.2 Observing restrictions on redefining marker behavior

Marker types you cannot redefine

You cannot use [MarkerTypes] to redefine the properties of any of the following FrameMaker marker types:

Cross-Ref

HTML Macro

Hypertext

Index

However, you can remap any of these marker types to another marker type in [Markers] (see §29.3 Remapping marker types and hypertext commands), and then list the other type in [MarkerTypes] and redefine its properties.

Marker types you can redefine

You can redefine the properties of any of the following:

• any new marker type you add in FrameMaker
• any new marker type you introduce in [Markers]
• standard FrameMaker marker types other than Index, Hypertext, Cross-ref, or HTML Macro.

Note:   If you want to redefine the properties of a standard FrameMaker marker type that you remap to another type in [Markers], you must also remap the original marker type to itself in [Markers] before you can redefine its properties in [MarkerTypes]; see §29.3.1 Remapping and cloning marker types.

Order of properties is important

Mif2Go processes marker-type properties from left to right, and in some cases the order in which you list property names is important:

• Split or ExtrStart should be specified before (to the left of) Cross-Ref, Title, or FileName; otherwise the cross reference, page title, or file name is likely to be applied to the prior file segment.
• Cross-Ref should be specified before Delete but after all other property names.
• Delete should be specified last.
