2.4 Use RapidRules

WebMaker provides a tool called RapidRules which makes an initial guess at the correct WML rules for your FrameMaker document. The guesses will not be perfect; some adjustment of WML rules and mappings may be necessary to achieve the results you want for a final conversion.

To use RapidRules, follow these steps in the Wizard:

1. Click Use RapidRules and then click Do It.

2. Click Browse and specify the MIF file to convert; it can be a MIF file of a single document file or a book. Look in the WebMaker directory for the examples directory, and specify the file in that directory named simple.MIF.

3. Click Multiple Web Pages and then click Do It.

4. Click View WML Rules and then click Do It. The main window appears, showing the results of running RapidRules on the simple.MIF document. See Figure 2.3.

Each paragraph tag appears in the left column, and the rule it uses appears in the right column. You can explore other aspects of the WML file by selecting another view. Click on the drop-down list where Paragraph Formats appears to see the other available views: Character Formats, Format Overrides, and WML Libraries.
