35.1 Understanding Mif2Go pre- and post-processing

When you convert a document, Mif2Go usually places all the files generated in the course of the conversion in the project directory. As a result, the project directory subsequently contains not only newly converted document files, but also configuration files and generated conversion files that are not part of the converted document. It might even contain obsolete output files from a previous conversion. See §C Document and conversion files.

For many output types, when you prepare a converted document for distribution you need to separate the wheat from the chaff. It is a good idea to copy the converted files, along with any other files that must be distributed with the output, to a directory where they can be accessed by others, or easily compiled or archived for distribution. In many cases Mif2Go can handle the compiling or archiving for you.

Before generating output files, Mif2Go can do the following:

After generating output files, Mif2Go can do any or all of the following:

If your workflow is more involved than this, you can specify other pre- and post-processing custom steps and arrange for interactive prompts, via system commands; see §34 Automating Mif2Go conversions.
