7.2.1 Checking automatic Help topic assignments

When you set up a Mif2Go Help project in FrameMaker, Mif2Go tries to determine which paragraph formats (usually headings) are most likely to start new topics; see §1.5 How Mif2Go works.

Mif2Go uses a heuristic weighting formula to automatically assign topic levels to paragraph formats, taking into account factors such as centering, font size, indents, bold/italic, and so forth; and then ranks the results, grouping close rankings together. Then Mif2Go lists, in the following configuration-file sections, the paragraph formats chosen to start new topic files:

Help type	Section
WinHelp	[HelpStyles]
HTML-based Help	[HTMLParaStyles]

Check topic levels!

These topic-level assignments are only a first approximation, and Mif2Go is easily fooled. Be sure to inspect the proposed assignments, and correct any that are inappropriate. Also check the corresponding contents-level settings; see §7.4 Configuring contents entries for Help systems.
