7.2.3 Specifying additional processing after conversion

When you set up a new Help project, Mif2Go includes a few postprocessing settings in your newly created configuration file.

Some Help systems require running additional programs after files are converted from FrameMaker: either to compile the output (WinHelp or HTML Help), or to create a search index (JavaHelp or Oracle Help). When you first set up a Mif2Go project to generate one of these Help systems (see §3.4 Choosing project set-up options), you can check an option to have Mif2Go run the additional program after conversion.

WinHelp, HTML Help

If you check Compile when you set up a WinHelp or HTML Help project,Mif2Go adds the following settings to your configuration file:

[Automation]

CompileHelp = Yes

WrapAndShip = Yes

If you do not check Compile, you get the following settings instead:

[Automation]

CompileHelp = No

WrapAndShip = No

JavaHelp, Oracle Help

Whether or not you check Make FTS for JavaHelp or Oracle Help, Mif2Go includes the following setting in your new configuration file:

[Automation]

WrapAndShip = Yes

OmniHelp, Eclipse Help

For OmniHelp or Eclipse Help, Mif2Go includes the following setting:

[Automation]

WrapAndShip = No

All output types

Mif2Go also includes the following settings in every new project configuration file:

[Automation]

WrapPath = .\_wrap

ShipPath = ..\..\_ship

If CompileHelp=Yes or WrapAndShip=Yes, after generating output files Mif2Go copies distributable files to the directory designated by WrapPath (or in the case of JavaHelp or Oracle Help, a directory structure under the directory designated by WrapPath). If you want your final Help files to go somewhere other than subdirectory _wrap, change the value of WrapPath in your configuration file. See §7.2.4 Compiling and distributing Help systems.
