4.3 RapidRules dialog
To use RapidRules, click RapidRules in main window. WebMaker opens the RapidRules dialog box, as shown in Figure 4.2.
You specify:
- MIF File
Names a MIF file (single document or book) to process. You can specify a MIF file by typing in its pathname or by using the Browse... button to specify a file. There is no default.
- Node Type
Specifies whether RapidRules should use rules that will result in Multiple Web Pages connected by navigation links, or in a Single Web Page. The default is Multiple Web Pages.
The FrameMaker document you specify must be in MIF format. If you specify a FrameMaker book file, RapidRules and processes each component file in the book. Each file in the book and the book itself must be in MIF format. See Section 2.2, "Write the FrameMaker file to MIF format", for more information on how to save your FrameMaker files as MIF.
When you have filled in the filename and options, click Generate Rules. RapidRules then creates a WML file based on the MIF file you specified and displays it in the WML window.
RapidRules names the newly generated WML file based on the name of the MIF file. For example, if you specify user-guide.MIF, the WML file will be named user-guide.wml. In this case, the WML is named simple.wml.
You can use RapidRules repeatedly, which is useful if you are making changes to your FrameMaker file that affect the Paragraph or Character Catalogs.
At this point, the generated WML file is not yet saved. You can save the WML file at any time by using File > Save or File > Save As (if you wish to change the name of the file).
