Omni Systems, Inc. Mif2Go User's Guide, Version 55
> 34 Automating Mif2Go conversions > 34.1 Preparing documents for single-sourcing > 34.1.4 Importing formats and conditional text settings
You can import formats from a FrameMaker template to create alternate output.
To tell Mif2Go which template to use and what to import, do one of the following:
Specify imports at set-up time
Specify imports in the configuration file
Import manually for command-line conversion.
Specify imports at set-up time
When you first set up your Mif2Go conversion project in FrameMaker, use the Set Up dialog to specify the template and check the formats you wish to import; see §3.4.1 Importing formats from a FrameMaker template.
Specify imports in the configuration file
If you have already set up your Mif2Go conversion project, and you intend to run the conversion from FrameMaker, edit your project configuration file to specify template and formats; see §30.7 Applying FrameMaker conversion templates.
Import manually for command-line conversion
If you intend to run your Mif2Go conversion from the command line (see §37 Converting
via DCL), you must provide your document in .mif
format:
1. When
you finish editing the print document, save it, but leave it open in
FrameMaker. The .fm
copy you just saved is
the one you will use for revisions later.
2. Open the Help template or HTML template, shift to the open print document, and import formats from the template.
3. Regenerate
the file, then save as .mif
; this is the .mif
copy you will use for Mif2Go to convert to on-line help or HTML. Close the
file without saving again,
so that your print document remains unchanged.
