Customizing XHTML output overview

The Toolkit supports several <property> settings that can be used to customize the appearance of XHTML output. XHTML is generated when the "transtype" property has the value "xhtml". The following table shows which properties you can set that affect the appearance of your XHTML output:

Parameter Definition, Usage Examples
args.ftr URI of the file containing XHTML to be placed in the body running-footer area of the output file. The file must be well-formed XML. Example: <property name="args.ftr" value="file:/C:/sandbox/myftr.xml"/>
args.hdf URI of the file containing XHTML to be placed in the head area of the output file. The file must be well-formed XML, which means, for example, that you could include a JavaScript if it were labeled as CDATA. Example: <property name="args.hdf" value="file:/C:/sandbox/myhdf.xml"/>
args.hdr URI of the file containing XHTML to be placed in the running-header area of the output file. The file must be well-formed XML. Example: <property name="args.hdr" value="file:/C:/sandbox/myhdr.xml"/>
