7.8 Check the order of text flows

If you have documents that have more than one text flow, it is important to understand how WebMaker handles text flows. In FrameMaker, text flows connect text columns. WebMaker converts text flows sequentially. The order is determined according to the following criteria, in order of decreasing precedence:

1. The text flow that starts on the page with the smallest page number.

2. The text flow having its first text column leftmost on the page.

3. The text flow having its first text column topmost on the page.

If you use WebMaker to convert documents with more than one text flow, your node template should be arranged in such a way that this sorting scheme accurately reflects the logical flow of your document.
