20.11.1 Converting list formats to HTML/XML paragraphs

By default, Mif2Go maps list formats to <p> items. If you target multiple browsers, this is the preferred method, because HTML list styles do not always play nicely with CSS in a multi-browser environment. CSS preserves the numbering used in your FrameMaker document, no matter how complex.

If you allow Mif2Go to create a CSS file for your document (see §21 Setting up CSS for HTML), Mif2Go uses CSS to reproduce the original indents.

Some things to consider about numbered lists:

• You must use this method for list formats with complex autonumbers that have no counterpart in HTML; for example, the multi-level section numbers in the Mif2Go User's Guide (this document).

• Because autonumbers are converted to text with this method, you cannot insert new items in a numbered list in the HTML output (something you should not be doing anyway) without manually renumbering the rest of the list.
