Generating XHTML for Confluence 4.2
I've upgraded to MIF2Go 4.0 and am working on getting XHTML output to import into Confluence 4.2. Here's the documentation on the format:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+Storage+Format
In this first phase of the project, I'm just pasting the MIF2Go-generated XHTML page by page into the Confluence Source Editor:
https://plugins.atlassian.com/1210722
Once I get that working, I hope to figure out how to convert a whole document and pipe it into Confluence using the Remote API.
I'm about 90% done with the first phase. How do I do the following?
Map one FrameMaker character tag to two XHTML tags, for example, code + strong or code + em?
Suppress e.g. <a id="Rab16333" name="Rab16333"> in headings?
Suppress <span> tags everywhere?
FYI the <ol type="1"> and <li value="1"> approach is invalid in Confluence 4.2, but when I save the source Confluence strips out the type and value.

Split files not referenced by Confluence style links
When I use the "ConfluenceLinks = Yes" set of options, I get Confluence style links for xrefs to content in the output xhtml file. However, references to content in a split out file are standard hrefs and not Confluence style links. So, when I cut and paste into links to content that was split into what I want to make a child page do not work.
What can I do to make those links to content in split out files be Confluence style links?
used an after script to fix links
Hello All,
So, I guess I am a bit dim, and, I regret, rather new to mif2go. In any case, I never got the Confluence links configuration stuff to work. Instead, I just generated normal XHTML FrameMaker, and then I applied a script to the output so that it would transform the in-document href entries to Confluence links. It might not have been the smartest solution, but I am pressed for time.
In the months to come, I hope to explore better options, but, for now, I must use what I have figured out to date.
Thanks. 98% there. The
Thanks. 98% there. The redesign and updated documentation really speed up this kind of work.
How do I suppress the XML version, doctype, head, and body elements?
I have these settings:
[CharStyles]
Superscript = sup
[HtmlStyles]
Superscript = plain
but I'm still getting
<sup></sup><sup><sup>Superscript</sup></sup>
Headless XHTML
You asked: How do I suppress the XML version, doctype, head, and body elements?
As to the superscript, I'm not clear on what you want. If you just want it (and similar typographic elements) to go away, try removing it from [CharStyles] and setting:
See par. 21.7.2, "Choosing how to treat typographic elements" for more possibilities.
superscript
I want to get rid of the superfluous <sup> and </sup> tags. I'm getting three pairs per occurrence rather than one.
Minimizing sup tags
OK, if you still want to keep one set of <sup> tags, try this:
and remove:
If you are concerned about the leading <sup></sup> pair, that may be unavoidable, but it is harmless.

Tuning for Confluence
You asked: How do I do the following?
1. Map one FrameMaker character tag to two XHTML tags, for example, code + strong or code + em?
Use [HTMLStyles] CodeBefore and CodeAfter (or CFodeStart and CodeEnd). For example:
2. Suppress e.g. <a id="Rab16333" name="Rab16333"> in headings?
No way to do it just for headings, but this will remove them all, which will force all links to go to the top of the page:
3. Suppress <span> tags everywhere?
