Omni Systems, Inc. Mif2Go User's Guide, Version 55
> 15 Converting to DITA XML > 15.2 Setting up a DITA XML project > 15.2.3 Specifying DITA output options
To change the file extension for DITA output (not recommended):
The default file extension is .dita
.
Unless you have a compelling reason, use .dita
,
not .xml
, for the output file extension. Many
places in DITA depend on that extension, and will break if you do not
use it; for example, related links would be assigned the wrong @format
value, and so would not work correctly in many tools.
The [Setup]
setting
is used by the Mif2Go plug-in. For this setting to take effect, you
might have to close FrameMaker, make the change, save your configuration
file, and then re-open FrameMaker.
If you have FrameScript installed on your system, you can use a script to create more “human readable” topic names for DITA output. See:
