9.9.1 Choosing how to generate HTML Help contents and index

When you first set up an HTML Help project from within FrameMaker, Mif2Go assumes you will want Mif2Go to generate any contents or index you specified; see §7.3.4.1 Choosing contents and index methods for HTML-based Help.

To specify whether contents, index, or both should be generated for HTML Help:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]

; ListType = Both (default), Contents, or Index

After you set up your HTML Help project, you can choose whether contents and index will be generated by Mif2Go or by HTML Help Workshop, or by neither. This choice is governed by the following setting:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]

; RefFileType = HHW (for HH Workshop), Full (single FrameMaker file),

; Body (FrameMaker book), or None (do not generate).

RefFileType = Full

When RefFileType=Full or Body, Mif2Go generates contents and index for HTML Help.

When RefFileType=HHW, Mif2Go removes attributes (including class) from <Hn> tags, and leaves the task of generating contents and index to HTML Help Workshop. You can edit the configuration file to change the value of RefFileType.

If you remove all settings for RefFileType from the HTML Help configuration chain, the default becomes RefFileType=HHW; therefore, if you specified that you want contents or index generated, they will be generated by HTML Help Workshop.

The default is RefFileType=HHW only when you use the command-line version of Mif2Go (see §37 Converting via DCL). When you set up an HTML Help project from within FrameMaker, this default is always overridden. The Mif2Go Set Up dialog always specifies one of the following:

RefFileType=Body (for a book, or for a chapter while the book is open)

RefFileType=Full (for a standalone FrameMaker file).
