15.8.2 Splitting FrameMaker files into DITA topic files

By default, Mif2Go splits each FrameMaker file into individual DITA XML topic files, one file per topic. To have Mif2Go generate instead a single multi-topic DITA XML file from each FrameMaker file (not recommended):

[DITAOptions]

;SplitTopicFiles = Yes (default, each topic is a file)

;  or No (wrap all topics in chapter together with <dita> tag)

SplitTopicFiles = No

When SplitTopicFiles=Yes, Mif2Go splits each chapter file on topic boundaries identified by FrameMaker paragraph formats; see §15.9.1 Designating starting points for DITA topics. A topic ends at the start of the next topic, or at the end of the FrameMaker file. When you split a FrameMaker file into individual DITA topic files, the hierarchical relationship among those topics is made explicit in the map levels assigned to those topics; see §16.2.2 Specifying topic levels in ditamaps.

When SplitTopicFiles=No, unless you nest the topics from each FrameMaker file so there is just one top-level topic, Mif2Go wraps all topics within a top-level <dita> element. See §15.8.4 Nesting DITA topics in unsplit files.
