1.2.3 Output formats you can specify
Choose from the following output formats:
In many cases the result is ready for compilation or distribution, with no manual intervention or additional tool purchase required.
Mif2Go handles formats, tables, and graphics, and simulates in Word some features that FrameMaker has but Word lacks, such as sideheads. You can convert FrameMaker documents to Word or WordPerfect. However, consider this a one-way conversion: several FrameMaker features can only be simulated in these output formats. See §5 Converting to print RTF for more information.
You can configure and generate WinHelp RTF with Mif2Go, and compile WinHelp files that need no further tweaking. Mif2Go produces all the files you need, including a TOC and a Help project file. See:
Mif2Go can produce HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, and XML 1.0 files from your FrameMaker document, and also create Cascading Style Sheets from your FrameMaker formats. You can include arbitrary JavaScript anywhere in HTML output. See:
§13 Converting to generic XML.
Mif2Go can produce both DITA XML and DocBook XML from unstructured (or structured) FrameMaker documents. See:
You can use Mif2Go to configure and generate several flavors of HTML-based Help. Mif2Go produces all the files you need, typically including TOC, Index, and a Help project file. For the two Java formats, Mif2Go prepares the map file; for HTML Help, the aliases file. See:
§8 Generating Microsoft HTML Help
§10 Generating JavaHelp or Oracle Help
You can run a Mif2Go conversion in two stages, stopping the first part of the process either when MIF files have been created or when DCL files have been created; see Figure 1-1. You can use the intermediate files for other purposes, or modify them and then run Mif2Go again to continue the conversion. See §36 Generating MIF or ASCII DCL output for more information.
You can use the Generic XML output format to produce plain ASCII text files; see §4.2.1.4 Producing plain ASCII text output.
