How Did it Do That? Terry Morse Myrmidon follows a number of configurable settings when it analyzes your document for conversion to HTML. It compares your document against these settings and decides which parts of your document are supposed to be headings, and which to format as paragraphs, lists and tables. It also decides where to break lines and paragraphs, and how much emphasis to give different section headings. Open your new HTML file in a web browser and see how it looks. Is there enough "white space" between the headings and paragraphs? Do the lines and paragraphs break in the right places? Do the lists and tables appear as Web-style lists and tables? Also, would you like your page to appear in certain colors, or do you need a linked table of contents at the top of the document? A set of configuration options determines how Terry Morse Myrmidon applies these various HTML features to your document. If any elements of the HTML document do not appear as you wish, there are two things you can do to produce a better conversion. You can either change the settings for interpreting your document, or you can change your original document to fit the settings. The default settings will most closely match the appearance of the source document, so it is best to modify the settings only slightly. After using one or both of these techniques, you can run your document through Terry Morse Myrmidon again and check the results. A Note About HTML's Limitations HTML is a very simplified format that provides almost no typographic control. Terry Morse Myrmidon uses its exclusive Wizzy-Web[TM] technology to make a best effort approximation of the original document's format, which is appropriate for most documents published on the Web. In addition, what the viewers of your web pages see depends largely on their browser. HTML simply cannot replicate the appearance of a document created with all the features in a page layout tool, but Wizzy-Web technology can almost always come very close (for tips on how to get the best conversion possible, please see Chapter 4).
