5.3.1 Understanding how Mif2Go creates identifiers

To name objects and references in your document, and to name certain output files, Mif2Go creates identifiers of the following form:

[L][ff]nnnnnn[.hhh]

where L, ff, nnnnnn, and .hhh are as follows:

L	Link destinations only: X for cross references, R for hypertext links.
ff	FileID (required for books, optional for single-file documents), assigned to each FrameMaker file in mif2go.ini; see §5.3.4 Working with Mif2Go FileIDs.
nnnnnn	Five-digit (for cross references) or six-digit ObjectID. For output files this is usually the ObjectID of the first item: paragraph, table, or anchored frame. See §5.3.2 Working with FrameMaker ObjectIDs.
.hhh	Files only: period and file extension.

Mif2Go creates identifiers for the following items:

• Cross-reference anchors, for which the FrameMaker ID includes a five-digit number (for example, Rab12345)

• Hypertext link destinations (for example, Xac254678)

• Graphics files produced with FrameMaker export filters (for example, ad3f509e.gif); see §5.7.4.1 Naming files produced by FrameMaker export filters

• Split and extract files for HTML, XML, and DITA output (for example, ae9704561.htm); see §18.4.1 Understanding how split and extract files are named

• Anchored frames for HTML (for example, aa4de33f); see §23.5 Selecting and modifying graphics.

• Tables for HTML (for example, bb123412); see §24.2 Defining sets of tables.

This kind of composite identifier is sometimes referred to as an FDK name.
