Calyx RIM Publisher

Link Profiles and the System Profile

Link profiles enable you to define how links are handled during publishing. These profiles can be created in a Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT), enabling you to create publications by starting with the saved profile values; you do not have to respecify the settings.

Calyx RIM provides you with a default profile called the System Profile.

  • The System Profile is assigned automatically to all imported links.
  • The System Profile is always used to create electronic TOC links and margin cross-references.
  • For Xrefs, SmartLinks, in-process links and other inter-document links (links between documents) the System Profile is always applied to electronic and paper output, that is, the old links are deleted and the new links are applied.
  • For intra-document links (links within a document) the assigned System Profile indicates that Calyx RIM does not alter these links during Electronic publishes unless it must. Any intra-document link formatting in the original documents is preserved in its original form, including style, font, color, and target settings. If a profile other than the default is used, or during a Paper publish, these settings are overwritten just like they are for inter-document links.
  • When publishing to paper, the stamp generated for margin cross-reference links is created with the defined font type and font size.
Note: Not all formatting for old links can be deleted. For example, some underlines cannot be removed and text color cannot be changed. Also, intra-document links cannot be suppressed from published output. As a workaround, you can mask intra-document links by changing the link profile from the System profile to black text.
