10.1 Basic information about WML programs

10.1.4 WML execution model

WebMaker translates a FrameMaker document paragraph by paragraph. This process is outlined simply by the following pseudo-code:

FOREACH Paragraph in FrameMaker document
   READ the paragraph
   IDENTIFY the FrameMaker tag
   IF conversion rules for that tag are specified in configuration THEN
      IF a new HTML node is to be created THEN
         WRITE the footer of the current HTML node
         CLOSE the current HTML node
         CREATE a new HTML node and make this the current node
         WRITE the title and the header of the current node
      ENDIF
      CONVERT the paragraph to HTML
      EXECUTE the conversion actions specified in the configuration
   ENDIF
END
