8.9.1 Identifying WinHelp jump destinations with FileIDs

For a jump from a hypertext link, Mif2Go uses one of the following:

Unless your project consists of only one file, with no cross references to other files, use the following default setting:

[HelpOptions]

; UseFileIDs = Yes (default, xrefs and ObjIDs)

;  or No (single topic file)

UseFileIDs=Yes

When UseFileIDs=Yes, Mif2Go includes a FileID in the link code, so links do not get confused if a cross-reference number or ObjectID is not unique. Mif2Go assigns FileIDs to your FrameMaker files; see §5.3.4 Working with Mif2Go FileIDs.

Keeping or replacing FileIDs

Suppose you have an existing WinHelp conversion project that uses the FileIDs you listed under [FileIDs] in your configuration file.

If you want to continue using the FileIDs listed in your configuration file, specify the following option:

[Setup]

; UseLocalFileID = No (default, use IDFile IDs)

;  or Yes (use [FileIDs] here)

UseLocalFileID=Yes

If you want to switch to mif2go.ini FileIDs, stay with the default, UseLocalFileID=No; and update settings in any configuration sections that reference the original FileIDs, such as the [Graph*] sections.
