1.4.1 A web document in one or more HTML pages
One of the first choices you make is whether you want the FrameMaker document to be converted to a single HTML page, or to many HTML pages. For a short document, converting it to a single HTML page may be best. For long documents, it is useful to divide the information into many HTML pages. WebMaker enables you to specify the level of granularity of your document. For example, consider the outline of the WebMaker User Guide shown in Figure 1.2.

You can choose any of the following ways to present this material:
- All on one HTML page
- Each chapter on its own HTML page.
- Each chapter and section on its own HTML page.
- Each chapter, section, and subsection on its own HTML page.
We decided on the final choice: to make each chapter, section, and subsection appear on its own HTML page. The next question to answer is -- how can readers navigate from one part of the document to another? We provided several ways to navigate the document: navigation buttons, a detailed table of contents (containing links the reader can click on, to go directly to any chapter, section, or subsection), an index (containing links the reader can click on, to follow the index entry to the section where it occurs in the document), and cross references (which the reader can click on, to go to the section that is referenced).
