Paragraph Options

Paragraphs are the most basic and fundamental text blocks in HTML. Anything that isn’t something
else is a paragraph. As a result, GoClick provides no way to turn off the creation of paragraphs.
However, you can prevent creating more than one paragraph by entering a very high number in this
setting.

Paragraph marks, tabs and space characters are all invisible when you print a document, so GoClick
relies instead on a simple rule to determine when to close a paragraph and start creating a new one: the
space between lines. When the line spacing is greater than the specified amount, GoClick will close the
paragraph. Most Web browsers display 12 points of space at the bottom of a paragraph, but this can
vary. The default setting is 12 points, which produces spacing in the Web page that most closely
matches the original document.

Keeping the setting at 12 points is recommended when using Cascading Style Sheets, as this produces
the most effective style sheets.

Heading Options

Note: Since different browsers display headings with different sizes and spacing, turning on heading
options may result in Web pages that look different on different browsers. To ensure the most
consistent appearance across browsers, do not use headings.

HTML supports up to six different heading styles, with text identified as Heading 1 displayed in the
most prominent style. You don’t get to choose how those styles appear of course—that’s dependent on
the platform and browser the document is viewed on. But you can define the styles in your original
document you want GoClick to mark as Heading 1, Heading 2 and so forth on down to Heading 6. For
reference, here are the text sizes used by the Mac version of Netscape Navigator 4.0 when displaying
headings:

Most browsers display all headings with a bold style. Browsers also tend to put white space both above
and below a heading. Typical spacing is 12 points both above and below, but that can vary by size and
browser.

By default, GoClick identifies a single line of text as a heading if it is styled in bold and has 12 points
of white space above and below it. This most closely matches the way that browsers display headings.
If you are converting a document whose headings don’t match the default conversion settings, you can
tell GoClick how to tell them apart by selecting the matching check boxes for Bold, Italic, Underline,
Outline and Shadow in each of the Heading dialog boxes. But if you do change the settings, the Web
page will no longer look as “WYSIWYG” (what you see is what you get).

GoClick strives to produce “what you see is what you get” conversions, so it is particular about what
text gets converted to a heading style. In order to be converted to a heading, source text must:

1. have the specified minimum size and spacing,
2. match the specified text style, and
3. occupy only a single line.

You may not want to use all of the headings available in HTML. If you don’t want to create a heading
of a certain size, you can simply click the “Off” button for that heading level. You can also turn all
headings on or off with the appropriate button. Since the browser has control over how it displays
headings, you may wish to turn all of them off to make the Web page more WYSIWYG.

Build Table of Contents from headings levels
This feature generates a linked table of contents out of every converted heading in the document. The
table of contents produced is stored in a separate HTML file. In order for this feature to work correctly,
be sure that your document headings are properly formatted to be converted to headings.
