You can specify a prefix, a suffix, or both, for format-based names of HTML output files:
; doc format = prefix to use (if any) for file name in para content
; doc format = suffix to use (if any) for file name in para content
If you are splitting files at Heading1 paragraphs, for example, you could specify the following properties:
If a given instance of Heading1
consists of the text “Getting Started”, the resulting HTML
filename would be ugGettingStarted03.htm
.
You can use macros and macro variables (see §28.1 Defining and invoking macros) in
sections [StyleFilePrefix]
and [StyleFileSuffix]
.
For example, suppose you have defined a FrameMaker variable called BkNum in your document, and you want to use the value of that variable as a file-name prefix:
This works because FrameMaker user variables can be employed as Mif2Go user variables; see §28.3.1 Creating and invoking macro variables. To make the content conform to file-name requirements, see §34.8.4.2 Including FrameMaker variables in output file names.
You can also use predefined macro variables;
for example, <$$_objectid>
, which has the advantage
of guaranteeing that each file name will be unique. See §29.8 Identifying markers with variable <$$_objectid>.
