32.7.1 Understanding which files can be renamed

You can rename only split and extracted HTML files. You cannot rename the first file produced by a split, which must have the same name as its FrameMaker file. For example, suppose you are converting a FrameMaker file named models.fm, and splitting it into multiple HTML files. The first file created is named models.htm. Mif2Go generates the names of the rest of the files.

You can have Mif2Go split each FrameMaker file on the very first heading (see §17.2.2.1 Preventing splits that leave empty files), so that the first output file is empty; then you can leave the empty files behind when you move output files to their final destination. (Do not delete the empty files; doing so could break interfile links. See §19.4.8 Specifying an alternate file sequence for browse links.)
