- The behavior of web pages in publishing depends on the type of published output, the level at which the web page is linked, and the content of the web page, as described in this section.
- Player Outputs
- Web pages linked at all levels are included in all Player outputs in Try It! and Do It! modes, and all hyperlinks within the web pages are active. When linked at the concept level, the web page appears directly in the Concept pane when the user selects its parent document. When linked at the frame or bubble text level, users access the web page by clicking on the link icon or hyperlinked text, respectively. In these cases, the web page opens in a new browser window. Similarly, for hyperlinks within web pages, the link target always opens in a new window.
- Warning!
- Note:
- Document Outputs
- Only three types of document outputs include linked attachments (by default) such as web pages: the System Process Document, Training Guide, and Instructor Manual. For these three documents, the outcome depends on the level at which the web page is linked and its contents. Specifically, web pages linked at the concept and frame levels are included in document outputs. Web pages linked to bubble text are excluded from all document outputs.
- Note:
- When linked at the concept level, the web page appears immediately after the name of the parent document to which it is linked. When linked at the topic level, the web page immediately follows the screen shot and steps for the frame to which it is linked. It appears in a lightly shaded box that is indented slightly to set it off from the surrounding content, with the link icon to its left. When the same frame links to multiple web pages or other attachments that are included in document outputs, each attachment is displayed as a separate item, in the order in which it is linked.
- Further details on the appearance of a web page depend on the combination of text, images, and/or hyperlinks it contains.
- Web page background color is not preserved.
- When publishing to a print output, if no spacing before or after the paragraph is set then the spacing is automatically set to 0. If spacing was set, either on a paragraph basis via the Spacing dialog box or for all paragraphs in the web page by attaching a print style, the spacing is preserved.
- When a web page is in a table, the page break is not honored because page breaks in tables are not supported in Word.
- Print.Template.docm
- Webpagetext or DeveloperWebpageText
- If a web page contains formatted text, the bold, italic, underline, text color, and numbered and bulleted list formatting is preserved, but the font style and font size are not. The default font style and size, as specified in the publishing styles, are used instead unless the web page format publishing option is set to Developer settings.
- All images inserted in web pages as embedded images linked package graphics, and linked URLs are also included in document outputs if images are included in publishing. Although the images appear within the borders of the shaded box, the images themselves do not have a shaded background. The maximum image size is 1/2 page; graphics larger than this are scaled accordingly and those smaller appear at full size. If the image is also hyperlinked, the image is included in the document, but the hyperlink is ignored.
- publishing format options
- Web page hyperlinks are included in document outputs only when the target is a URL (not another web page or a package file) and the hyperlink is from text, not an image. In this case, the hyperlink tooltip appears in place of the linked text, followed by the target URL in parentheses. The target URL functions as an active link in the document output.
- The Job Aid, Test, and Test Case document outputs do not include linked attachments by default but they can be updated to include web pages.
