Specifies an additional class name to include in the output class name for the selected style. This option is helpful if you are using a custom .css file. ePublisher supports this option only in output formats that support cascading style sheets. This option is available all styles except marker styles.

This option lets you specify other classes to add to the class statement in the generated output for the selected style. For example, if you have a class in your .css file called Red that defines the text color as red, you can specify Red in the Additional CSS classes option for each style you want to have red text. ePublisher adds this class to the class name in the generated output, such as classname=”sourcestylename Red”.

Specifies whether ePublisher uses the character style formatting within the selected paragraph style. Character styles specify characteristics like font size and style for one or more characters. When you set the Apply character styles option to Enabled, ePublisher applies character formatting to the content within the selected paragraph style in your source documents. This option is available only for paragraph styles.

Specifies that ePublisher recognizes and formats the text with this style as quotation content. A citation is a reference or footnote to a book, article, or other material that specifies the source from which a quotation was borrowed. The citation for a quote enables users to go to a Web site that contains more information about the quote.

You must define a Citation paragraph or character format and a Citation marker to specify a URL citation. The paragraph or character format with this option enabled identifies the quote in the generated output. The Citation marker defines the URL for the Web site with more information. When you hover over the quote in the output file, a popup window displays the URL. This option is available only for paragraph and character styles.

Specifies whether to use the selected paragraph style to define an expand/collapse section, also called a dropdown hotspot. Some output formats do not support expand/collapse sections.

You can configure the expand/collapse section to initially be hidden or shown. When the user clicks the dropdown hotspot, the content expands and collapses to allow the user to view more or less information. The expand/collapse content can include multiple paragraph styles. You can use the DropDownEnd marker to identify the end of the expand/collapse content. If you have a specific paragraph style that always serves as the ending point for your expand/collapse content and is not included in the expand/collapse content, set this option for that paragraph style to Break. By default, all paragraph styles are included in the expand/collapse content. The values for this setting are defined as follows:

Specifies the name of the element that contains the content of the associated style when ePublisher converts it to XML output. This option is available only for paragraph styles and graphic styles for the XML+XSL output format.

Specifies whether the selected style is included in the generated output. This option is available for all styles except marker styles. By default. the Generate output option is set to Enabled so that all content is included in the output. If you select Disabled, the content with the selected style does not appear in the generated output.

Specifies whether ePublisher uses the paragraph style to format glossary terms and definitions displayed on the Glossary tab in Sun JavaHelp. This option is available only for the Sun JavaHelp output format.

Specifies whether ePublisher generates output for paragraphs with the selected style that do not have any content. For example, at the end of chapters in Microsoft Word, you may have multiple blank paragraphs to create the footer on a blank even page. To exclude the empty paragraphs from your generated content, select the paragraph style of the blank paragraphs in Style Designer and set the Keep empty paragraphs option to Disabled. If you leave this option set to its default value of Enabled, ePublisher can display blank lines in your generated output.

Specifies whether ePublisher includes the auto-generated numbers for the selected paragraph style in your source documents. For example, chapter titles, headings, figure captions, and table captions may have auto-numbering in your source documents that you do not want to include in your online content. To exclude the autonumbering, select the paragraph style that contains autonumbering and set the Keep paragraph numbering option to Disabled.

Specifies whether ePublisher includes the auto-generated numbers for the selected paragraph style in your source documents that have been defined to have a Table of Contents level by the Paragraph Style’s Options. To exclude the autonumbering, select the paragraph style that contains autonumbering and set the Keep paragraph numbering in TOC option to Disabled.

Specifies whether to include a miniature table of contents (mini-TOC), also known as a partial table of contents, and what table of contents levels to include in the mini-TOC. A mini-TOC provides a small-scale look at the topics in the upcoming section. The topic titles are displayed as links beneath the current topic heading for easier navigation within the section.

ePublisher does not create mini-TOCs by default. To create a mini-TOC following a paragraph style. set this option to a value other than None. ePublisher generates the mini-TOC on all pages on which the selected paragraph style occurs. ePublisher creates the mini-TOC for all styles with TOC level settings in the specified range between the selected paragraph style of the current topic and the next occurrence of this same style. The values for this setting are defined as follows:

For more information, see Defining TOCs and Mini-TOCs.

Specifies how to handle page breaks for the selected paragraph style. This option specifies whether to create a new page starting with the selected paragraph style and allows you to avoid new pages with a heading and no content if two headings occur in a row in your source documents. The default value is Use table of contents level, which only creates a new page when there is a Table of contents level.

This option works with the Page break handling format setting to give you complete control for how ePublisher handles page breaks. To access the Page break handling format setting, click Target Settings on the Target menu. With the Page break handling setting value set to Combine, to create a new page every time the selected paragraph style exists, select the highest priority level of 1. To create a new page only if the preceding paragraph did not create a new page, select a lower priority level of 2 through 5. For more information, see Defining New Pages (Page Breaks).

Specifies whether ePublisher should process the content with the selected paragraph style applied or insert the content directly into your output without being transformed and coded for your output format. By default this option is disabled. If you enable this option, ePublisher does not process the content when generating output. For example, you can use this option to embed HTML code into your generated output.

Specifies whether a paragraph style is displayed in a popup window and how the content is displayed in your generated output. Define a paragraph style for the first paragraph to display in a popup window. If the popup window contains more than one paragraph of content, create a second paragraph style and apply it to all subsequent paragraphs that follow the first paragraph in the popup window. The values for this setting are defined as follows:

For more information, see Defining Popup Windows.

Specifies an alternate page style for the popup window associated with the selected paragraph style. ePublisher creates default popup windows with the same appearance as all other topic pages, including breadcrumbs and company information. You can define additional page styles to use for popup windows. To assign a page style other than the default page style to popup windows, you must first create the new page style in Style Designer. Then, select the paragraph style you use to designate popup window content and select the new page style in the Popup page style option.

If you are using marker styles to create popups, you cannot use page styles to control the appearance of popup windows. This method applies only to popup windows created with paragraph styles.

Specifies whether the selected paragraph style provides links to topics that are similar to the current topic or may be of additional interest to the user. Related topic links are essentially cross-references to other corresponding topics within your output. Instead of displaying cross-references directly in your output, you can create a list of Related Topics links. The values for this setting are defined as follows:

To create a Related Topics button and have the Related Topics links displayed in the output, create a paragraph style in the source documents that you apply to each related topic link. Then, create a list of Related Topics links for each topic. For more information, see Defining Related Topics.

Reverb allows you to add a Search relevance weight to your Paragraph Styles, giving you the opportunity to control the order of the Search Results, assigning to every word with that paragraph style the specified weight and then saved in the index file. The default value is 1.

The predefined values for this setting are defined as follows (but you can define any integer value): Ignore, 1, 10, 20, 50 and 100. If you choose to Ignore it (which is going to be 0), it means that the style is not going to be shown in your results.

Defines See Also link functionality for the selected paragraph or character style. See Also links are associative links, also called Alinks, that identify other topics that may be of interest to the user of the current topic. These links use internal identifiers to define links and the browser builds the list dynamically based on the topics available when the user displays the links.

To create a See Also link as inline text without a button, create a unique character style and select the See Also option for that style.

To use a button to display See Also links, create a unique paragraph style, select the See Also option for that style, and type the See Also text on that paragraph. The paragraph style properties selected in Style Designer affect the text of the See Also button.

You must also define SeeAlsoLink and SeeAlsoKeyword markers. HTML Help also supports the SeeAlsoLinkDisplayType and SeeAlsoLinkWindowType markers. These markers allow you to change how the See Also links are displayed in HTML Help. See Also links are not supported by all output formats, such Dynamic HTML. For more information, see Defining See Also Links.

Specifies the level of the table of contents (TOC) entry for the selected paragraph style. For example, setting this option to 1 specifies that all the paragraphs with the selected style appear in the TOC at the first level in the TOC hierarchy. Setting this option to 2 specifies that all paragraphs with the selected style appear in the table of contents at the second level. The Table of contents level option works in conjunction with the Page break priority option.

The Auto-Detect option takes the source file’s information and will automatically assign values for the paragraph. From Adobe FrameMaker, this will be taken from the Bookmarks tab in the PDF Setup from the Print Document dialog box. From Microsoft Word, ePublisher uses the Heading levels (usually from Heading 1-Heading 9). From DITA, the map hierarchy becomes the TOC.

The value you specify for each of your paragraph styles determines the structure of the online version of your table of contents. These values also define the structure of mini-TOCs. ePublisher defaults this value to Auto-Detect, which typically results in your online table of contents looking the same as your document’s table of contents. This option is available only for paragraph styles. For more information, see Defining TOCs and Mini-TOCs S.

Specifies the name for a variable that ePublisher creates. ePublisher sets the value of the variable to the contents of the selected paragraph or character style. You can then use this variable in your page layout override Page.asp file.

For example, if you want to include a section name in a banner area at the top of each topic in that section, you can assign a variable for the paragraph style of the section name. Then, you can modify the override Page.asp file to include this variable value in the page layout where you want it. Each topic in a section use the section name for that section, until the next section name defined by the paragraph style changes the value for the next section of topics. To insert a variable in the override Page.asp file, insert the following code in the file, where variable is the name of the variable you specify in this option:

After processing the Page.asp file for a topic where the variable value is User Information, ePublisher replaces this code with the following code in the output file:

Available only in the Microsoft HTML Help 1.x format. This option specifies whether the selected paragraph style should define What’s This help content for field-level context-sensitive help. When the user right-clicks on a field in the user interface and then clicks What’s This on the right-click menu, the application displays this type of content. This content does not support formatting and is not supported in all output formats. The values for this setting are defined as follows:
