35 Converting via DCL

Conversion from a command line, using the DCL (Document Coding Language) filter, is intended for programmers adding Mif2Go to automated build systems. DCL is run separately from FrameMaker; the DCL filter operates only on FrameMaker MIF (Maker Interchange Format) files.

Note:

If any graphics are embedded in your document, or if any graphics contain FrameMaker vector elements (such as callouts); or if your FrameMaker files are binary rather than MIF; Mif2Go must be run from within FrameMaker. See §32.4 Automating conversion workflow.

This section shows how to operate the Mif2Go DCL filter. Topics include:

§35.1 How the DCL filter works

§35.2 Using the DCL filter

§35.3 DCL command-line syntax
