13.2 Setting up an HTML project

Generating HTML with Mif2Go is an entirely different process from using “Save as HTML” in FrameMaker. Mif2Go does not use the FrameMaker reference-page HTML mapping tables, nor create an HTML output file from a FrameMaker book file. However, Mif2Go does support inclusion of arbitrary JavaScript anywhere in HTML output.

Although you can specify some HTML or XML options within FrameMaker via Mif2Go Set Up and Export dialogs, you have to edit configuration files to specify most options; see §4.1 Working with Mif2Go configuration files.

To add or change HTML options, edit the project configuration file appropriate for the output type, located in the project directory: 

Output type	Project configuration file
Standard HTML	_m2html_config.ini
XHTML	_m2xhtml_config.ini

Or, to apply the changes to all of your HTML (or XHTML) projects, edit the corresponding configuration template:

%omsyshome%\m2g\local\config\local_m2*ml_config.ini

See §30.5 Deciding which configuration file to edit.
