Understanding Paragraph and Character Formats in FrameMaker
ePublisher projects use the paragraph formats and character formats defined by the Stationery designer to implement online features when generating output. Before you begin using paragraph formats and character formats to implement online features, talk to the Stationery designer and verify which online features your Stationery supports. Your Stationery only recognizes the paragraph formats and character formats defined by the Stationery designer in your Stationery. If you try to implement online features using paragraph formats and character formats not supported in your Stationery, ePublisher does not recognize these items when generating output.
When the Stationery designer creates the Stationery, the Stationery designer specifies the names of paragraph format and character formats used to implement an online feature. Consult with the Stationery designer to obtain the names of the paragraph formats and character formats defined by the Stationery designer to support each online feature you want to implement.
The following table lists the default names of paragraph formats and character formats used to implement online features. Always verify with the Stationery designer the names of the paragraph formats and character formats you should use when implementing online features before you use these items in your source documents.
